Why are Medical Aspirants demanding NEET PG 2022 Postponement?

The key issue with regards to the NEET PG 2022 exam which is scheduled to be held on 21st May 2022 is that it falls too close to the ongoing stray vacancy counselling round for NEET PG 20221 admission cycle. Students have moved to the Supreme Court highlighting that the delay in NEET PG 2021 Counselling has led to confusion and anxiety among the aspirants. In fact, with the counselling for last year’s admission cycle expected to be completed only by mid-May; candidates who are participating in the stray vacancy round will not have enough time to prepare for the NEET PG 2022 exam, putting them at a distinct disadvantage. In light of this, medical aspirants have been demanding postponement of NEET PG 2022 by 8 to 10 weeks. However, so far, NBEMS or the Health Ministry has not hinted that NEET PG 2022 might be postponed. In light of this, the only hope of relief left for medical aspirants is through Supreme Court.
