Hello aspirant,
Yes, a student who secures a seat through the NEET MDS exam and later gets selected in the INI CET exam can leave the NEET MDS seat. There is no specific provision for debarment or any other penalty in such cases.

However, it's important to note that:

  • Counseling rules: The counseling authorities for NEET MDS may have specific guidelines regarding withdrawing from a seat after accepting it. It's advisable to check the rules and regulations of the counseling body to understand any potential consequences.
  • Seat forfeiture: If a student leaves a NEET MDS seat after accepting it, the seat may be forfeited, and it could be offered to another candidate.

It's recommended to consult with the counseling authorities or the concerned medical college for detailed information on the specific procedures and implications of leaving a NEET MDS seat.

I hope this information helps you.

The validity of using an acknowledgement receipt for MUHS counselling depends on their specific requirements. Here's what you can do:

  • MUHS Website: Check the official MUHS counselling website for detailed document requirements. They might explicitly mention if an acknowledgement receipt for domicile is acceptable during the application stage.

  • Contact MUHS Helpline: If the website is unclear, contact the MUHS counselling helpline. Explain your situation and inquire if the acknowledgement receipt is a valid temporary document for domicile during the application process.

General Advice:

  • Submit the Actual Domicile ASAP: Even if the acknowledgement receipt is temporarily accepted, submit the actual domicile certificate as soon as you receive it within the next 2-3 days. This ensures your application remains complete.

By following these steps, you'll get a clear answer from MUHS and avoid any potential issues with your application due to missing documents.

hope this helps you!!
