National Eligibility cum Entrance test-post Graduate exam, which was scheduled for April 18, has now been postponed due to a huge rise in COVID-19 cases.
Dr. Harsh Vardhan the Union Health Minister said the decision was been taken keeping the wellbeing of our young medical students in mind. He added that the next date for the exam will be decided later.
He tweeted, ”In light of the surgein#COVID19 cases, Gol has decided to postpone #NEETPG2021 exam which was earlier scheduled to be held on Apr 18. Next date to be decided later”.
This comes after several junior doctors aspiring to attempt the exam urged authorities to postpone the exam. #postponeneetpg and other similar hashtags were also trending on Twitter. Moreover, a group of MBBS doctors has also moved a petition in the Supreme Court asking that the exams be postponed, reported Live Law.
