This comes after the National Medical Commission (NMC), in a recent advisory, mentioned that in the light of the delay in the conduction of NEET PG 2021 and all other medical examinations across the medical institutions, all the PG medical students will continue their services as resident doctors until a fresh batch of MBBS graduates joins to serve.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the decision, on part of NMC, had been taken to ensure that there would not be any shortage of Residents to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. A few days later, the Prime Minister's Office announced its decision to postpone NEET-PG for at least 4 months and utilize the services of fresh pass-outs for COVID duties.
