    What Is the Difference Between a Service Bond And a Discontinuation Bond?

    Candidates should understand the difference between a service bond and a discontinuation bond before taking admission through NEET PG counselling. A service bond and a discontinuation bond are separate obligations. A college may impose a discontinuation penalty even when there is no compulsory post-course service bond. Candidates should therefore check both requirements before accepting an allotted seat. A detailed difference between the service bond and a discontinuation bond can be checked from the below table.
