New Delhi: The Union Health Ministry today announced said that it has postponed the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)-PG 2022 exam by 6-8 weeks.
The exam was earlier scheduled to be held on March 12 and the results are expected to be declared by March 31.
In an order, the director of health services wrote, “I am directed to say that lot of representations were being received from medical doctors regarding request to delay NEET-PG-2022 examination date i.e. 12.03.22 as published in Information Bulletin by NBE since it is clashing with the NEET PG 2021 counselling. Also, many of the interns would not be able to participate in the PG Counselling 2022 by the month of May/2022.”
“Keeping the above facts in view, the minister has taken the decision to postpone NEET PG 2022 by 6-8 weeks or suitably,” the order said.
Earlier on January 25, six MBBS students had filed a plea in the Supreme Court seeking postponement of the exam, in order to accommodate candidates who may not be able to appear for the exam as they are yet to complete the mandatory internship period.
Supreme Court was scheduled to hear a plea on the postponement of the examination on Friday.
