Government should postpone NEET PG 2022 exam: ABVP after SC dismisses plea
India Today
After the Supreme Court's decision on NEET PG 2022, ABVP has asked the government to postpone the exam.
Following the Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss the plea seeking to postpone the postgraduate medical entrance exam -- National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG), the student group Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has asked the government to take a positive decision in the interest of the students.
This comes after the Supreme Court decided not to interfere, leaving the decision of extension of the exam date on the government.
The petitioners demanded the exam be postponed, saying it clashed with the ongoing counselling process of NEET PG 2021 and there was not much time to prepare.

Doctors who cleared the NEET PG 2021 and secured lower ranks would wait till the last rounds to get a seat. However, the application process for NEET PG 2022 has also been closed. If not extended further, the counselling process will end by May 9 and the exam will begin on May 21. Candidates claimed that this leaves little time for preparation and can lead to a year's loss.
The students’ problems were put before the union health minister through a memorandum by a delegation of the ABVP.
The national general secretary of ABVP, Nidhi Tripathi said, "Due to the conflict between the counselling process of NEET PG 2021 and the date of the examination of NEET PG 2022, there is not enough time to prepare. The Supreme Court has left the decision to the government. Now, the government should take the decision in the interest of students at the earliest and should extend the dates of NEET PG 2022. We also urge the students to keep preparing for the exam. We are trying our best for the extension of the exam date."
