According to the letter, the issues faced by NEET PG and NEET MDS 2022 aspirants are:
- NEET PG 2021 counselling is still underway and scheduled to be over by May 3, 2022. The uncertainty regarding the counselling process has left students in dilemma about its proper conduct and concluding date.
- The difference between NEET PG 2022 date and NEET PG 2021 counselling mop up round is too less for a student to prepare for the exam. This will lead to stress amongst mid-ranker students who form a huge chunk of the appearing candidates as they hope to score better if they do not get a seat in counselling.
- Students who didn’t get a seat in NEET PG 2021 counselling and didn’t register for NEET PG 2022 as they were busy with counselling as well as those who lost seats due to cancellation of mop-up round counselling need time to register and prepare for exam.
- 5,000 interns who served during COVID-19 pandemic are ineligible for NEET PG 2022 and NEET MDS due to delay in their final exams.
