The Supreme Court on Friday modified its 2016 order and approved the academic calendar for postgraduate medical courses proposed by the National Medical Commission for the academic year 2022-23 in view of the delay in starting the previous two academic years due to the onset of COVID-19.
The approved academic calendar says that the academic session
for PG courses will start on October 20 this year with the first round of counselling having been held from September 15 to 27 for all-India quota and deemed central institutes under the central counselling in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
