A bench recorded the assurance given by Additional Solicitor General (ASG) KM Nataraj, appearing for the Centre, and observed that students will be in trouble if the counselling starts as scheduled.

The assurance by Nataraj was given after senior advocate Arvind Dattar, appearing for some NEET candidates, mentioned that the counselling process for the NEET-PG is to commence from October 25.

Meanwhile, The National Testing Agency (NTA) sought an urgent hearing in the SC on its plea against an HC order asking it not to declare results and conduct re-examination for two aspirants whose question papers and OMR sheets got mixed at a centre in Maharashtra.
