NEW DELHI, July 5: The NEET-PG 2024 entrance examination will now be held on August 11 in two shifts, as announced by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences on Friday. The exam was initially scheduled for June 23.
“In continuation of NBEMS notice dated 22.06.2024, the conduct of NEET-PG 2024 examination has been rescheduled. It will now be conducted on August 11 in two shifts. The cut-off date for eligibility to appear in the NEET-PG 2024 shall continue to be August 15, 2024,” the Board stated.
On June 22, the Union Health Ministry postponed the NEET-PG entrance examination as a “precautionary measure” due to concerns about the integrity of certain competitive exams.
Since then, several meetings have been held with officials from the Union Health Ministry, NBEMS, its technical partner Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the National Medical Commission (NMC), and Cyber Cell officials to evaluate the “robustness” of the system for conducting the exam.
The Ministry of Health decided to undertake a thorough assessment of the robustness of the NEET-PG entrance examination processes. The National Eligibility Entrance Test-Postgraduate (NEET-PG) entrance examination is conducted by NBEMS along with its technical partner TCS for medical students.
