NEET PG 2023 Exam To Be Held As Per Schedule: Health Minster Mansukh Mandaviya Tells Lok Sabha

Earlier, the Union minister of health and family welfare (MoHFW) Mansukh Mandaviya told the Lok Sabha that National Eligibility cum Entrance Test- Postgraduate (NEET PG 2023) will not be postponed. The decision to not postpone the postgraduate medical entrance examination was made to prevent further delays in the exam and counselling process caused by the pandemic COVID-19. “The government has recently extended the internship cut-off date to August 11, 2023, so that no students across the country are ineligible to appear for the exam. Secondly, students were informed about five months earlier that the NEET PG exam 2023 will be held on March 5,” the health minister said to Om Birla, Lok Sabha speaker.

The NEET-PG aspirants have been demanding the postponement of the exam for quite some time. Since thousands of medical candidates were ineligible due to the Internship Deadline, NBE provided a slight relief by extending the deadline to August 11, 2023.

“In continuation of NBEMS notice dated 13.01.2023, and pursuant to the directions of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Govt. of India vide its email dated 07.02.2023, the cut-off date for completion of internship for the purpose of eligibility for NEET-PG 2023 has been further extended to 11.08.2023, “NBE in an official notification said.

Last week, the protesting doctors under the banner Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) said they will move to court and explore other legal options to postpone the medical exam by 2-3 months. Due to the online campaign, #NEETPG2023, and #PostponeNEETPG2023 have been trending on the Microblogging site Twitter.

The Final/Selective Edit Window for all applicants of NEET-PG 2023 who are found not to have submitted the required images in their applications as per the prescribed guidelines will be opened from February 18 to February 20, 2023. A list of these candidates will be published on the NBEMS website prior to the opening of the final edit window.
