In the backdrop of the decision of the Central Government to defer the conduct of National Eligibility and Entrance Test for admissions in Government medical colleges for one year, Punjab has decided to make immediate preparations for the conduct of the test.
Anil Joshi, Medical Education & Research Minister said that in all probability, this test will be conducted on June 12 and the exact date will be uploaded on the website of the department as well as of Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot which is to conduct this test. The Minister said all those who have applied earlier on the portal of Baba Farid University need not apply and pay fee again and the registration number etc. already allotted will be valid for the proposed test.
Earlier the registration portal was closed in view of the apex court decision three days before the closing date. This web portal for new registrations will be opened again by the Baba Farid University for three days up to May 25. The university authorities have been advised to issue an advertisement in the leading newspapers as well as on website of department/university for the information of all aspiring students.
