New Delhi: After the Centre announced the postponement of the NEET-PG 2024 examination scheduled on Sunday, some student bodies and doctors’ associations expressed their discontent with the decision, saying that the education system of the country has been “destroyed.” They also demanded a high-level probe into the agency responsible for conducting the NEET-UG and NEET-PG examinations.
United Doctors Front Association’s national president, Dr Lakshya Mittal said that the NEET-PG exam was canceled just 10 hours before it was supposed to be conducted even when students traveled from all over the country to reach their centers. Mittal said that canceling the exam at such short notice was no less than “playing with the emotions of the doctors”.
“NEET-PG exam, which was supposed to be held tomorrow, has been canceled at the last moment… The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, in its press release, has mentioned that the exam has been postponed seeing its integrity and sensitivity… This is another scam after NEET-UG… Candidates have travelled across states and canceling the exam 10 hours before it is scheduled is no less than playing with the emotions of the doctors,” Mittal informed.
“The conducting authorities of both, NEET PG, as well as NEET UG, should be investigated… India’s medical education system has been destroyed… CBI enquiry into the NEET-UG issue is a commendable step,” he added.
Meanwhile, student body ABVP’s general secretary, Yagyawalkya Shukla demanded answers from the Centre and the National Board of Education regarding the cancellation of the NEET-PG exam.
