NEET PG aspirants urges PM Modi to postpone the exam scheduled on May 21

More than 15,000 aspirants of National Entrance-cum-Eligibility Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2022 have come together and appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and postpone the exam, scheduled to be held on May 21, citing its clash with the ongoing counselling for NEET PG 2021.

The aspirants have written to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) seeking an appointment to highlight their concerns and have also sought permission to conduct a ‘peaceful protest’ at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Sunday. “We urge you to kindly support our genuine demands and also arrange a meeting with Honourable PM Narendra Modi. We kindly request you to support and grant permission



[for] this peaceful protest with 70 doctors,” the letter reads.

“The counselling process conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for NEET PG 2021 has been made null and void seven times. As per latest notification from MCC, May 7 is the last date for the admission into PG courses. But, the registration for NEET PG 2022 was closed on March 25, 2022,” the letter by Dr R Dinesh Kumar Reddy reads.

Aspirants are complaining that due to this “sudden notification” and the INI-CET exam or National Importance Combined Entrance Test scheduled on May 8, they are now panicking. Students say they cannot appear for the exam and the counselling together.
