of the
NEET-PG
examination,
ABVP
general secretary Yagyawalkya Shukla demanded explanations from both the government and the National Board of Education regarding the sudden postponement of the exam just hours before it was due to be held on June 23 morning.
This is the second competitive exam that has been postponed after UGC-NET was cancelled due to the exam paper being leaked on darknet.
“If the National Board of Examination or the ministry of health and family welfare had any kind of suspicion, they should have brought forth everything in front of candidates with full transparency… Student bodies demand the government and the National Board of Education that the students have the right to know the reasons and circumstances behind the step,” Shukla said in a self-made video. “It has accordingly been decided, as a precautionary measure, to postpone the NEET-PG Entrance
Examination
, scheduled to be held on 23rd June 2024. The fresh date of this examination will be notified at the earliest,” the ministry added.
“The Ministry of Health sincerely regrets the inconvenience caused to the students. This decision has been taken in the best interests of the students and to maintain the sanctity of the examination process,” the health ministry said.
The NTA, which conducted the NEET-UG exams, is facing criticism over alleged irregularities in the exams. This resulted in several protests across the country, with protestors and political parties demanding to disband the NTA.
