The Indian Medical Association (IMA) wrote a letter to Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya for rescheduling the NEET-PG examination. The short gap between the NEET PG 2021 counselling and the exam date 2022 is the prime reason for NEET PG 2022 exam postponement. 

IMA Officially Writes to Union Health Ministry to Postpone NEET PG 2022

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) wrote a letter to Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya for rescheduling the NEET-PG examination, which was scheduled to be conducted on May 21, 2022. IMA pointed out that NEET PG 2021 was commenced 5 months after the scheduled exam date in September 2021. Correspondingly, the counselling was started in January 2021, instead of the scheduled counselling date (October 25, 2021). Due to the pending decision on seat reservations, the NEET PG counselling 2021 was delayed to start. Apart from that the Supreme Court ruling of March 31, 2022, led to the cancellation of the Special Round of Counselling for the Mop-Up session.

Due to the delayed counselling schedule, NEET PG 2022 was deferred from April 22 to May 2022, consequently. So that the students can present to the final stray vacancy session of NEET PG 2021 as well as can get ample time for the NEET PG 2022 preparation (in case they could not secure a seat the previous year). Nonetheless, the AIQ counselling process was supposed to be completed by March 2022, which is still in process and there is further no news on the same. Along with this, several state exams’ counselling processes are under process and seem to be ended around the middle of May 2022.

The primary objective of such a request for NEET PG 2022 exam postponement is nothing but the short gap between the exam scheduled date for 2022 and the completion of the 2021 counselling process. The students get very less time for appearing for the extremely difficult exam like NEET PG.

Meanwhile, IMA also highlighted the incident that approximately five to ten thousand interns, who served COVID warriors during the COVID-19 pandemic, are not able to appear for the NEET PG exam due to the delay in the final exam completion. Therefore, their internship beyond the eligibility criteria has been set for the test.

With each passing day, the demand for NEET PG 2022 exam postponement has been getting louder and everyone is expecting some positive decisions from the Supreme Court.
