Postpone NEET MDS 2024: Students Urge Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, PM Modi to Delay Exam Till July

NEET MDS 2024: As January draws to a close, there has been no update from the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) or its officials regarding the specific details of the NEET MDS 2024 exam notification. Disheartened and frustrated students have turned to various social media platforms to voice their concerns and disappointment about the lack of information on this crucial matter. Taking to X(formally Twitter), an aspirant wrote, “If you’re a dental student concerned about the NEET MDS 2024 exam being scheduled for March instead of July, you’re not alone! There has been no official notification of this change, and it’s unclear why the exam dates are still not out ! However, we believe that this change is unfair to students who have been preparing for the exam without clear dates and schedule. We urge everyone reading this to help the aspirants by joining our voices in calling for the exam to be postponed to July. This way, all students can have a fair chance at success.”

Tagging Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Office of the Prime Minister of India, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, and Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, NEET MDS aspirants have urged them to consider postponing the entrance examination to July 2024. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Masters of Dental Surgery (NEET MDS) is the eligibility cum ranking examination for admission to various MDS courses for 2024-2025 admissions. It is conducted by the National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS).

Initially, NBEMS had planned to hold the NEET MDS examination on February 9; the date was tentative. With only a few days remaining in the academic calendar, the NBEMS officials have yet to release the NEET MDS details notification and application form. Later on January 17, a report from the news agency ANI stated that the NEET-MDS is likely to be held on March 18 this year. “After the postponement of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET-PG), it is likely that NEET-MDS will be held in the third week of March, official sources said,” news agency ANI reported. Recently, a delay in the conduct of the NEET-PG examination was also announced.
