The National Board of Examination (NBE) has announced that the NEET-PG 2024 exam, which was initially set for June 23, will now be held on August 11. This decision follows a previous notice from June 22, 2024, indicating changes in the exam schedule. The exam will take place in two shifts on the new date.
The sudden cancellation of the June 23 exam was announced less than 12 hours before its scheduled start. The NBE did not provide specific reasons for this abrupt change, causing confusion and concern among the candidates.
One possible reason for the rescheduling is the recent allegations of paper leaks in the NEET-UG exams. The NEET-UG exam is crucial for candidates seeking admission to undergraduate medical programs in both government and private medical colleges. The integrity of the exam process has been called into question, leading to increased scrutiny and the decision to reschedule the NEET-PG exam.
The NEET-PG exam is an essential step for candidates aspiring to join postgraduate medical programs in India. Conducted by the NBE, this exam determines the eligibility of candidates for nearly 70,000 postgraduate seats available in government and private medical colleges across the country. This year, over two lakh candidates had applied for the NEET-PG exam, making the rescheduling a significant event for many.

While the sudden change in the NEET-PG 2024 exam date has caused inconvenience to many candidates, the decision underscores the importance of conducting exams securely and reliably. The new exam date of August 11 is now eagerly awaited by thousands of aspiring postgraduate medical students.
