NEET PG Exam Postponed Hours Before Scheduled Date, Sparking Outrage Among Aspirants

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has postponed the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) exam scheduled for June 23rd, causing widespread anger and frustration among aspiring doctors. The last-minute cancellation, announced just hours before the exam, has been met with criticism for its impact on students who had travelled long distances and incurred significant expenses. The postponement follows the recent controversy surrounding the NEET-UG exam paper leak, leading to calls for the dissolution of the National Testing Agency (NTA).

The Ministry of Education has constituted a high-level committee of seven experts to review the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) exam process and recommend improvements to ensure transparency and fairness. The committee, headed by former ISRO chairman K Radhakrishnan, will assess the examination process, data security protocols, and the structure and functioning of the National Testing Agency (NTA).
