UDFA Urges MoHFW, DGHS to Reopen Registration as NMC Flags Issue
New Delhi/Shimla, November 7 — Even as the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has pushed the NEET-PG choice-filling deadline “till further notice,” hundreds of candidates remain stuck outside the system — unable to complete registration or upload documents for the NRI quota due to persistent technical glitches.
The National Medical Commission (NMC), acknowledging the growing concern, has uploaded a public notice on its website indicating that the matter has been taken up and is under examination.
The notice, listed under the Commission’s Public Notices section, confirms that representations on portal failures have reached the regulator.
Amid the confusion, the United Doctors Front Association (UDFA) has stepped into the spotlight, calling the situation “unfair and avoidable”.
The association has urged the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) and the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) to reopen the portal and provide a clean, glitch-free registration and choice-filling window for all affected candidates.
UDFA National President Dr. Lakshya Mittal said:
“Aspirants are suffering not because of incompetence, but because the system failed them.
Incomplete registrations, NRI quota upload errors, and repeated portal crashes have pushed many meritorious students to the brink. We request MoHFW and DGHS to immediately reopen the portal to ensure transparency and justice for every candidate.”
UDFA noted that students who cleared NEET-PG with hard-earned scores now face losing seats due to errors beyond their control, especially NRI candidates whose verification modules froze repeatedly.
With NMC officially noting the issue and UDFA mounting pressure, candidates are hoping the authorities will intervene before the counselling process moves ahead.
For now, the wait continues — and so does the uncertainty.
