NEET PG 2022 revised dates

As per the NEET PG 2022 revised schedule, the admit card for the medical postgraduate entrance exam will be released on May 16.

The Supreme Court will hear the plea regarding the NEET PG 2022 application deadline and completion of the internship. Earlier in the day, the Centre postponed the NEET PG 2022, which was earlier scheduled to be held on March 12.

A petition filed on January 25 by six MBBS graduates claimed that many MBBS graduates would not be able to take up the examination due to non-completion of the mandatory internship period.

Advocate Charu Mathur, for the petitioners, told Careers360, "Though the NEET PG exam gets deferred by six to eight weeks, key issue regarding internship remains to be resolved. Following PM Narendra Modi's assurance, doctors did 100 days of Covid-19 duty and selflessly submitted to call of nation but this disrupted their internship. Internship is for one year and as per info bulletin it is to be completed by May 31. This is practically not possible as they were in COVID duty. However, I'm sure that this issue will also get resolved."
