NEET PG 2022 Latest News: Kerala students may miss NEET PG 2022

In 2021, Covid-struck Kerala recorded the highest number of COVID-19 cases throughout the year. The state remained under curfews and lockdowns longer than most other states. This, along with debates and protests over offline exams, threw the academic cycle of the state completely out-of-gear. In consequence, Kerala’s MBBS students who were to complete their internships by April 2022 will now do so in August 2022 and, therefore, not in time for NEET PG 2022. If the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBE), which conducts the exam, retains the same eligibility criteria for the 2022 exam, the Kerala students may be barred from writing it, a problem that they say will be unique to the state.
