Chief Minister Pushkar Dhami has ordered the ongoing NEET counselling investigation in Uttarakhand to cover other reserved categories, widening the scope of the probe.
The Uttarakhand government announced that the probe into the 2026 NEET counselling process will now include candidates from additional reserved categories. The decision was taken by Chief Minister Pushkar Dhami, who said the move aims to ensure fairness and transparency across all sections of the reservation system.
Officials from the state's education department will review applications, seat allotments and any alleged irregularities for the newly added categories. The expanded inquiry follows earlier concerns raised about the handling of seats for existing reserved groups.
The administration has urged aspirants and institutions to cooperate fully with the investigation. No further details on the timeline or specific categories have been released, but the government affirmed that any violations will be dealt with strictly.
Stakeholders are expected to receive a formal notice within the next few days, and a final report will be submitted to the chief minister's office before the counselling deadline.
