Medical professionals argue that moving NEET‑PG and NEET‑SS to a rank‑based merit list will not resolve underlying structural problems. In a recent meeting, participants raised concerns about high examination fees, low stipends for trainees, and mandatory service bonds. They said these issues affect the attractiveness and fairness of medical education. Government representatives responded that state authorities hold primary responsibility for the matters raised. Officials suggested that stronger regulation could address some of the concerns. Attendees called for better hiring practices for faculty, more equitable stipends, and independent audits of training institutions. The consensus was that comprehensive reforms are needed beyond simply changing the ranking system.
