The rank losers demanded the counseling should go on according to 1st merit list or the counseling should be postponed or give at least 10 days time to fight for justice.

Medical PG Counseling Committee coordinator Umakant Satpathy said that they had received the information on Wednesday to prepare a combined merit list by taking two groups of candidates, so that they added the both list and merit ranking should be done according to their mark secured in the examination.
