The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced the new date for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2024 examination. This year, the examination is scheduled to be held on August 11, 2024 in two shifts. Applicants can check the official website,i.e.,natboard.edu.in, for more updates and information.
Earlier, the NEET PG 2024 was initially scheduled for June 23, but it was postponed by the Health Ministry as a precautionary measure.
The delay in the exam and other reforms in the testing process are part of broader changes being implemented under the new leadership of the National Testing Agency (NTA), now headed by former ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan.
A significant meeting was held in the I4C wing of the Home Ministry with Cyber Cell officials to discuss the NEET PG exam. The question paper will be prepared just a few hours before the exam to ensure security. Various government agencies are evaluating potential loopholes, and the investigation is nearly complete. The exam date will be announced soon, with the exam likely to be conducted within a month.
NEET PG is an eligibility-cum-ranking examination prescribed as the single entrance examination for admission to various MD/MS and PG Diploma Courses as per Section 61(2) of the National Medical Commission Act, 2019 read with 10 (D) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956.
