SRINAGAR: National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, (NEET) PG, 2023 is not postponed as Supreme Court of India dismissed the postponement plea on Monday.
The plea regarding postponement of NEET PG 2023 was heard by a bench comprising of Justices S Ravindra Bhat and Dipankar Datta on Friday. Upon hearing the matter, the apex court has decided to not postpone the NEET PG 2023 Exam.
The petitioners had sought for the postponement of the entrance exam by two to three months. They wanted the exam to postponed so to ensure the gap between NEET PG exam and councelling date is reduced.
A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and S R Bhat was informed by Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Aishwarya Bhati, representing the National Board of Examinations (NBE), that NEET PG admit cards have been released on Monday as per the original schedule and the counselling may begin on July 15, 2023.
On Friday, the NBE told the Supreme Court that nearly 2.09 lakh students have registered for the NEET PG 2023 exam and no alternate date for conducting the medical examination may be at hand in the near future if the entrance exam is delayed.
“There is no date available in the near future with our technology partner to conduct the NEET PG exam,” she told the SC bench.
