The association members are of opinion that 5-6 major cities cannot be left behind for an arbitrarily set of deadline and added that the internship deadline was set to July 31 last year as well.

The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) had recently wrote a letter to Union Health Minister Maksukh Mandaviya, urging him to postpone NEET PG 2023 exam and re-consider internship eligibility for aspirants.

Earlier, several other associations such as the United Doctors Front Association (UDFA), Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA) and Indian Medical Association (IMA) had also written letters to the minister requesting for the postponement of NEET PG 2023 due to the insufficient time to prepare for the exam and the long gap between the NEET PG exam and counselling.

For the last several days, thousands of students on Twitter have been requesting authorities to listen to their pleas and postpone the exam. Due to the online campaign, #NEETPG2023, #NEETPG and #postponeneetpg23 have been trending on Twitter for the past month.
