IMA Requests Union Health Minister To Postpone The NEET PG Examination 2022

The Indian Medical Association has requested Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to consider rescheduling the NEET PG 2022 Examination that is going to take place on 21st May. In a letter to the Union Health Minister, the IMA wrote: "The NEET-PG 2021 was held five months after the scheduled date in the month of September 2021. Then the counselling scheduled to begin from 25th October 2021 was also initiated (in January 2022) after a delay due to a pending decision on seat reservations and was further delayed owning to the Supreme Court ruling of 31st March, 2022, which ordered cancellation and conduct of special round of counselling for the mop-up round," The IMA also said that the difference between the NEET PG 2022 exam date and the completion of the 2021 counselling session is negligible. It added that the difference is too short for a NEET aspirant to prepare and appear for an extremely difficult exam like NEET. Highlighting the various Top Court judgements over NEET, the Indian Medical Association said that there is a need to deter the NEET PG 2022 exam as it concerns the career paths of lakhs of medical graduates. Though the Union Minister has not yet given any response to the letter, the IMA hopes that the issue shall be dealt with on a priority basis.  https://twitter.com/IMAIndiaOrg/status/1524568907658719232
