The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET-PG) examination for the year 2024 is facing a delay of two months, as indicated by the revised schedule released on Tuesday. The initial tentative date for the NEET-PG 2024 exam, set for March 3, 2024, has been rescheduled, and the examination will now take place on July 7, 2024. The circular also specified that the eligibility cutoff date for NEET-PG 2024 will be August 15, 2024.
The decision to postpone the exam is primarily attributed to concerns related to the disruptions caused by the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Sources suggest that this adjustment takes into consideration that students will conclude their internship by June-July 2024, and the delay accommodates this timeline.
NEET PG serves as an eligibility-cum-ranking examination, serving as the singular entrance test for admission to Doctor of Medicine (MD), Master of Surgery (MS), and Postgraduate Diploma courses under the NMC Act, 2019.
