India's Supreme Court dismissed a writ petition seeking a Round 5 or Special Stray Vacancy Round in the NEET PG 2025 counselling process, declining to intervene after the National Medical Commission had already refused to conduct the session. A division bench of Justice P S Narasimha and Justice Alok Aradhe ruled that no additional counselling round would be permitted beyond the established deadline. The court made explicit that judicial intervention in the counselling process at this stage was not warranted, effectively closing the window for candidates who remained unplaced after the standard rounds concluded. The ruling consolidates the NMC's authority to set counselling timelines without mandatory court-ordered extensions. Unplaced NEET PG 2025 candidates seeking postgraduate medical seats through the stray vacancy route now have no further legal recourse under this petition. Any remaining unfilled seats across participating medical institutions will not be reopened for allocation under this cycle.
