NEET-PG Entrance on March 5 for Sure: Health Min in Parliament

New Delhi: The date of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Postgraduate (NEET PG 2023) will not be postponed. It will be conducted as per the schedule date on March 5, informed Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya in the Lok Sabha on Friday.

Mandaviya said NEET PG 2023 will not be postponed to streamline the process to avoid further delay in the exam and counselling process caused due to COVID-19.

He was replying to a question by Congress member Gaurav Gogoi.

“To ensure that no one is left out, the ministry has extended the cut-off date for all those MBBS students who are yet to complete their internship. The government has recently extended the internship cut-off date to August 11, 2023, so that no students across the country are ineligible to appear for the exam. Secondly, students were informed about five months earlier that the NEET PG exam 2023 will be held on March 5,” the health minister said.
