NEET PG aspirants have been demanding postponement of exam citing reasons of less gap between 2021 counselling and exam, ineligibility of 5,000 medical interns to sit in exam, and delay in counselling.
The Press Information Bureau (PIB) said on Saturday that this year's NEET PG exam has not been postponed and will happen on the scheduled date, and warned candidates against a fake notice issued in the name of the National Board of Examinations (NBE) saying that the paper has been rescheduled to July 9.
The All India Medical Students Association (AIMSA) has filed a plea in the Supreme Court seeking postponement of the NEET PG 2022.
NEET PG 2022 aspirants also requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to defer the exam. Several doctors posted on the micro blogging site using the hashtag #PostponeNEETPG_ModiJi”. Aspirants also submitted a memorandum to PM Modi represented through groups like FAIMA, United Doctors Front Association, AIMSA, and NCR Parents' Association, among others. Separately, NCR Parents' Association president Sukhpal Singh Toor said around 70 people have taken Delhi Police's permission for a "peaceful protest" at the Jantar Mantar in the national capital today over the issue.
