India Today
The postponement of the NEET PG exam is among a slew of measures approved by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to boost the availability of medical personnel in the country to fight against the devastating second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Covid-19 pandemic has already had a devastating impact on the academic calendar. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET-PG) 2021 has been postponed for at least four months, and it will not be held before August 31, 2021, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said on Monday. The students will also be given at least one month of time to prepare for it. The NEET PG is a highly competitive exam that is held for admission to various MD (Doctor of Medicine)/MS (Master in Surgery) and PG Diploma courses across the country. Earlier, the NEET PG was scheduled to be held on April 18 but was postponed for the time being, in view of the rising Covid-19 cases.More Related News
