The Supreme Court will today resume the hearing of the petition for postponement of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test – Post Graduate (NEET PG) 2023. The plea was earlier heard by the bench on February 24.
The petitioners have asked for postponement of NEET PG 2023, scheduled for March 5, to a later date. They have argued that there is not enough time to prepare for the exam.
Recently, the centre extended the internship cut-off date of NEET PG. During the last hearing, NBE informed the Supreme court that 2.09 lakh students have registered for NEET PG and if the exam is postponed, a date to hold the exam in the near future may not be available.
Petitioners said that if NEET PG is held on March 5, counselling can begin only after August 11, which is the internship cut-off date.
Senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan, appearing for the petitioners, told the bench that doctors are undergoing internship for 12 hours a day and there is no time for them to prepare for the exam.
