Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that disappointed with the fact that the NEET-MDS 2024 exam has not been postponed, the aspirants for Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) courses once again approached the Supreme Court.

Although the exam is scheduled to be conducted on March 18, the aspirants have been demanding the postponement of the same to July 2024.

During the hearing of the plea seeking postponement of the NEET MDS 2024 exam, the Union Government had informed the Supreme Court bench that it was looking into the grievances of the candidates regarding the extension of the internship deadline.

Considering this submission, the Apex Court bench had not passed any order on 21st February and had directed the authorities to consider the representations submitted within a period of one week. The Apex Court had clarified that the bench did not express any opinion on the merits of the case and "...it will be open to the union government to take an appropriate view having regard to the entire facts and circumstances."

However, the NEET MDS 2024 exam did not get rescheduled and a few days ago, issuing a notice in this regard, the National Board of Examinations (NBE) confirmed that the exam would be conducted on its scheduled date i.e. on 18th March, 2024. However, based on the directions issued by the Union Health Ministry, NBEMS extended the deadline for completion of BDS internship till 30th June, 2024.
