Congress member Gaurav Gogoi raised the concern in Lok Sabha and sought information on health ministry’s stand on the students’ demand for postponement of the NEET PG 2023 exam for a few months.
“On March 5, the exam has to be held and this was announced five months ago. Those students, who had to appear in entrance test, are already preparing,” Mandaviya said in response.
“Earlier exams were delayed by 7-8 months and later by four months….If I keep on delaying, such a situation will come….,” he said, adding that, “It is very necessary to fix it”.
Some of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Postgraduate) aspirants have been continuously demanding to postpone the entrance test, citing delay in their internship completion.
A doctors’ group, including NEET-PG candidates, held a protest in Delhi on Tuesday under the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) banner, demanding from government to postpone the entrance examination.
