The NEET PG 2024 exam was scheduled to be held on June 23. The new date for the NEET-PG entrance examination 2024, will be announced soon on the official website, natboard.edu.in.
“Ministry of Health sincerely regrets the inconvenience caused to the students. This decision has been taken in the best interests of the students and to maintain the sanctity of examination process,” the official notice read.
Earlier, a notice was issued by the NBEMS, warning aspirants against falling prey to fraudsters claiming to sell NEET-PG 2024 q uestions for a considerable sum of money. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has also urged the Centre to postpone the NEET PG exam, citing the recent NEET UG paper leak. “Given the allegations surrounding the conduct of NEET-UG exams, I urge the Government to postpone NEET-PG scheduled on June 23rd,” Tharoor tweeted.
