Will NEET PG 2022 be postponed? Latest updates on exam date deferment

Will NEET PG 2022 be postponed? This question has been in the minds of PG medical aspirants for a while. The 2021 NEET PG AIQ counselling process concluded on May 3, and the state-level PG admissions is still underway. On the other hand, the NEET PG 2022 exam is scheduled to be conducted on May 21 which is just a few weeks after the conclusion of AIQ counselling. Many aspirants have been demanding the government defer the NEET PG 2022 exam date at least by two months so that there will be enough time gap after the conclusion of the 2021 counselling process. Now the matter is with Supreme Court which will hear the plea to postpone the exam on May 13.

While MCC is firm on commencing the academic session for PG medical courses in August, the aspirants are seeking deferment of the NEET PG 2022 exam at least till July. NEET PG 2021 counselling schedule was changed almost 7 times causing a lot of uncertainty among students. The mop-up round counselling was cancelled as well.

As per the previous postponement notice of the exam, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare clearly indicated that there should be a minimum of 6-8 week gap between the counselling and entrance exam.

In 2021, the NEET PG exam was delayed till August as the Government of India called for young doctors to serve the nation owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to this, almost 5,000 interns have become ineligible to appear for NEET PG 2022 due to the delay in the completion of internships. Therefore, these students have approached the President of India to address the issue.
