NEW DELHI: NEET super specialty (NEET SS 2023) faced technical glitches, mismanagement, and two hours of delay in several exam centres across the country. The National Board of Examinations (NBE) is holding the NEET SS exam 2023 pan India; today is the second day of the exam.
“Most of the NEET SS exam centers were in pathetic condition. Not to speak of AC and coolers, even exhaust fans were not working. NBE took (Rs) 4,500 from each candidate for the exam. They need to answer where all the money goes?” Ashutosh Singh, an aspirant, tweeted on X.
NEET SS 2023 is the single eligibility-cum-ranking exam for admission to various DM/MCh and DrNB super specialty courses. The examination is conducted in two days in two shifts. First shift is held between 9 AM to 11:30 AM and afternoon shift from 2 PM to 4:30 PM.

A candidate who gave the exam on September 29 tweeted, “NEET SS was delayed by almost 2 hours. I napped, stretched, and then decided to chat with the invigilator. He asked, 'How come you all are not creating a fuss? Very calm, you doctors are.' I said, 'Yes, our medical board never fails to teach us tolerance.'”
