The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test- Postgraduate (NEET-PG) 2022 has not been postponed and will be conducted on the scheduled date of May 21, the Government said on Saturday, even as over 15,000 medical aspirants have submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to intervene in the matter.
The development came even as a medical students' association moved the Supreme Court on Thursday, May 5, 2022, for the postponement of the examination citing its clash with the ongoing counselling for NEET PG 2021.
"We 15,000 aspirants writing on behalf of the majority of NEET PG aspirants suffering due to the ongoing counselling and upcoming NEET PG 2022 exam scheduled on 21 May,2022. We would like to bring it to your notice regarding the issues faced by the aspirants who are unable to appear for the upcoming medical post-graduation entrance exam NEET PG 2022," the memorandum
stated.
Meanwhile, a fake document is doing the rounds of social media claiming that the NEET PG 2022 exam has been postponed to July 9. Calling it a fake circular, the Ministry has cautioned students to not fall into its trap as examinations will be held as scheduled for May 21.
