The doctors’ association said medical students are in a state of turmoil and unable to concentrate on their studies due to major ongoing issues related to the early scheduled date for NEET PG-2023. “Sir, as per NBEMS revised internship eligibility criteria for NEET PG-2023 , internship completion date i.e. June 30 is not justifying criteria for ongoing internship batch.
Around 10,000 interns from many states are still ineligible for NEET PG-2023 after revision," the letter dated January 18 stated. “Recently, NEET-PG 2022 special stray round counselling was conducted on January 10. Many of the NEET-PG aspirants were busy in attending counselling. So NEET-PG participants/aspirants are getting less time to prepare for upcoming exam scheduled on March 5.
“So we request you to kindly look in the above matter on urgent basis and serve justice to NEET PG-2022 aspirants by postponement of NEET PG-2023 for a minimum of two-three months and re-revision of internship eligibility criteria for ineligible interns to make them eligible for NEET PG-2023," the letter read.
