NEET PG 2024 exam date shortly: NBE chief in a meeting with Indian Medical Association

NEW DELHI: The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test postgraduate (NEET PG 2024) exam date will be announced shortly, the National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) president Abhijat Sheth said in a meeting with Anilkumar J Nayak, honorary secretary general of the Indian Medical Association (IMA). They discussed regarding the difficulties, anxiety and expectations of the aspirants.

“Unlike NEET UG aspirants those appearing for NEET PG examination are full-fledged doctors either at work in the hospitals or studying intensively under several coaching centres. The disruption in NEET PG not only affects the doctors and their services but also dislocates patient care at several centres,” the IMA member said.

“IMA acknowledged the fact NBE has been an institution of excellence and has an unblemished record in conducting examinations across the board for medical graduates,” he said.

IMA honorary secretary general apprised the NBE chief of the situation and expressed its demand to announce the date for NEET PG as early as possible. He also expressed hope that “NBE will live up to standards it has set for itself and conduct the examination with fairness and transparency”. He further added that the NBE chief assured that the NEET PG dates will be announced shortly.

On June 25, the top officials from the ministry of health and NBEMS reviewed the process of the NEET PG exam and said that the date will be announced in a week. He also told the ANI that the “integrity of this exam was never in doubt as far as NEET PG is concerned”.

Stating that the board has been conducting the NEET PG exam successfully for the past seven years, the NBE chief said that the government has decided to ensure that the safety and security are maintained as there are concerns on all sorts of exams from the student communities.
