NEET PG, NEET MDS 2023 Application Form: The Indian Medical Association (IMA), the national voluntary organisation of physicians, wrote a letter to Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya urging him to postpone the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) by two to three months. At present, NEET PG 2023 examination is scheduled to be conducted in a single day & single session as a computer-based examination on
March 05, 2023.
Reiterating that the NBEMS has announced the NEET PG examination date to be March 5, the association said that the candidates who are doing their mandatory internship are not given enough time to prepare. IMA further added that many aspiring MBBS students are yet to complete their internship according to their local internship schedules, and these all students will miss out on the opportunity to seek postgraduate education as the NEET PG 23 date does not synchronize with the dates of completion of internships in various parts of the country.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) has once again extended the cut-off date for completion of an internship for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test – Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2023 aspirants from June 30 to August 11, 2023. Earlier, the cut-off date for aspirants to complete their mandatory one-year internship was June 30.
