Dr. Chinmayee Gowda, Women Wing Incharge, Federation of All India Medical Association told Careers360 that over 8000 interns will not be eligible to take the medical entrance if it is scheduled to be conducted on March 12. "The junior doctors are being punished for what is not their fault. People might think let the exam happen and counselling can be late. That doesn’t explain the March 12 exam for right?" the doctor argued.

Also, the NEET PG counselling process for previous year will be concluded on March 16. "How is it fair to conduct the exam on March in between the counselling of previous year," the doctor said. Last year, the NEET MDS exam was postponed to four months due to the ongoing counselling in October. "We are asking the same justice to be carried on. We are not asking for extra time, all are asking is to give our right time which is reasonable two to four months away from March," she added.

The Gujarat Intern Doctors’ Association in a letter to the National Medical Council said that students who have not completed their 12 months of internship will miss the opportunity to appear for the exams. The Maharashtra based Junior Doctors Network of Indian Medical Association (IMA) in a letter to the Maharashtra Medical Council and National Medical Commission raised their grievances, mentioning that a total of 8,032 students will complete their internship after June 31, 2022, and the conduct of NEET PG exam on scheduled March 12 will lead to their loss in their academic careers without their mistake.
