The Supreme Court on Friday rejected the plea seeking to postpone the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET-PG 2022) examination. “Any delay in conducting the exam will result in fewer number of resident doctors,” the top court said.
The plea was filed by a group of doctors on the ground that it will clash with the ongoing counselling for NEET-PG 2021.
The plea, filed through advocates Ashutosh Dubey and Abhishek Chauhan, reads: “The petitioners are the doctors who are doing their requisite internship with different hospitals across the country. The petitioners aspire to appear in NEET-PG examination 2022 scheduled to be held on May 21 for the purpose of choosing their career option as per their ranking, choice, and available options to them under different branches of medical science for Post-Graduation Courses.”
More than 40,000 medical students have been protesting online and offline, demanding postponement of NEET PG 2022 exam which is scheduled to take place on May 21, 2022.
