NEET PG exam: The scrapping of the exam triggered furious protests.
New Delhi:
The NEET-PG exam – for admission to postgraduate medical courses – will be held this month, sources told NDTV Tuesday afternoon, after the Home Ministry met officials from the government’s anti-cybercrime body. The exam – scheduled for June 23 – was postponed hours before its start amid a row over alleged irregularities, including leaked question papers, for the undergraduate exam.
The government had then said it would “undertake a thorough assessment of the robustness of processes of NEET-PG, conducted by the National Board of Examinations for medical students”.
The decision, the government said, had been taken in students’ best interest.
The scrapping of the exam – for which lakhs of aspiring medical professionals had enrolled – triggered furious protests, particularly from those who had travelled many kilometres to sit for the exam.
