NEET PG 2023 WILL NOT BE POSTPONED, SAYS SUPREME COURT

NEET PG 2023 will not be postponed; the apex regulator Supreme Court has clearly held.

With this, the Supreme Court has rejected all the batches of petitions that had demanded the postponement of the NEET PG 2023 exam that is scheduled to take place on 5th March 2023

Earlier, a few aspirants had approached the High Court of Telangana, Hyderabad praying for postponement of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-PG 2023) scheduled for March 05, 2023, on the ground that many interns who could not be registered earlier as their date of completion of the internship were beyond the earlier declared cut-off date for completion of internship but the same was extended to 11.08.2023 vide notice dated 07.02.2023.

The NEET PG 2023 aspirants had been pushing for an exam date extension to reduce the gap of around five months between the date of the exam and the date of MBBS internship completion.

Pointing out that NEET PG counseling cannot start before the completion of the MBBS internship in August, the aspirants have time and again urged the union Health minister and other authorities to postpone the exam. In this regard, FAIMA had also written to the union Health minister and other authorities.

However, despite several requests from the aspirants for postponing the NEET PG exam, the authorities have not agreed to their demands. The union Health minister Mansukh Mandaviya had clarified in the Parliament that NEET PG 2023 examination would be conducted on the scheduled date i.e., March 05, 2023.

The Supreme Court had deferred the hearing for the petitions seeking NEET PG 2023 postponement. A bench comprising Justices S Ravindra Bhat and Dipankar Datta heard the appeals and adjourned the matter till Today, i.e., 27th February 2023.
