This expansion of seats across multiple countries and institutions is anticipated to appreciatively impact scholars preparing for NEET UG, furnishing further openings to secure admission in sodalities of their choice. With competition remaining violent, the increase in seats is a welcome move, offering campaigners a wider array of options for their medical education.
