NEW DELHI: The United Doctors Front Association has urged the Union Government to postpone the holding of the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2023 for postgraduates for at least three months.
In this regard, the UDFA wrote a letter to the Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and requested him to ask the concerned authority to delay the examination in the interest of the candidates. They also demanded to revision of the new internship cut-off date.
As per the NBEMS revised internship eligibility criteria for NEET PG 2023, the internship completion date is June 30, 2023, is not justifying the criteria for the ongoing internship batch. Around 10,000 interns from many states are still ineligible for NEET PG 2023 after revision, the letter stated.
The NEET PG 2022 Special stray round counselling was conducted on January 10, 2023, due to which many aspirants were busy attending counselling, so they got less time to prepare for the upcoming exam that will be conducted on March 5, 2023.
In 2021 due to the Covid pandemic, the NEET PG was postponed and rescheduled on September 11, 2021. Due to the delay of exams, the NBEMS provided a fair chance to ineligible interns by reopening of registration window for NEET aspirants who were unable to complete internships due to Covid Pandemic, the body argued.
The Association urged the government to postpone the NEET PG 2023 for a minimum of 2 to 3 months and re-revision of internship eligibility criteria for ineligible interns to make them eligible for NEET PG 2023.
