The Central government’s Press Information Bureau (PIB) clarified on Saturday that NEET PG 2022 has not been postponed. It will be held on May 21 as per schedule. The fact-checking division of the bureau, PIB Fact Check, warned aspirants against the fake notice circulating on social media which is claiming that the PG medical entrance examination has been postponed to 9th July.
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Postgraduate or NEET PG is officially administered by the National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) for admission to the postgraduate medical courses.
On Friday over 15,000 NEET PG aspirants submitted a petition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting him to postpone the exam. A medical students’ association on Thursday moved the Supreme Court to delay the exam concerning its clash with the ongoing counseling for NEET PG 2021.
“A FAKE notice issued in the name of the National Board of Examinations claims that the NEET PG exam has been postponed & will now be conducted on 9th July 2022,” PIB announced on Twitter.
“The exam has not been postponed. It will be conducted on 21 May 2022 only,” was further added to the tweet.
