New Delhi- For the first time, the National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has implemented the 'first come, first serve' system for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Post Graduate (NEET PG) 2024 exam centre selection this year.

This move has reportedly resulted in no exam centres being left in Bengaluru for thousands of NEET PG candidates, as per a recent Hindu report.

In the NEET PG 2024 information bulletin, the NBE notified,

“At the time of online submission of application form, the candidate will be required to choose the city in which he/she wants to take the test. The choice of city will depend on the availability of the test centres in a particular city and the allotment shall be done on a first come first serve basis”.

“The test city can be selected from available choices on a first come first serve basis. While the city will be chosen by the candidate himself/herself at the time of online submission of application form, allotment of test centre/venue in the chosen city shall be done by NBEMS”, it further added.

Due to this system, within a few hours, the candidates selected all the available seats in the examination centres of Bengaluru. For this year's NEET PG exam, the exam centres were allotted to Bengaluru, Davanagere and Belagavi in Karnataka taking a total of 31 exam centres to Bengaluru.

Speaking to The Hindu, Sujata Rathod, Director of Medical Directorate-Karnataka, said, “Due to the first come, first serve system, the seats in all the examination centres in Bengaluru are full. A candidate from any State or city of the country can choose the centre of any other city. It is imperative that candidates choose examination centres in Belagavi, Davangere, or other States, apart from Bengaluru”.

Meanwhile, with no examination centres left in Bengaluru, some candidates are seen demanding the abolition of the first come, first serve system as the state is a major hub of higher education and also has the largest number of medical colleges and medical students in a large numbers.

NEET PG 2024 exam is going to be conducted on June 23 on a computer-based platform at various exam centres across the country. The registration process is ongoing and will remain valid till 11:55 pm on 6 May 2024 till 11:55 PM.
