Why medical PG aspirants are fretting at entrance tests
27.01.2022
New Delhi: The MBBS students who were to appear for the medical masters’ entrance exam this year in March have been thrown into an undesired circumstance.
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences, the apex body to hold the NEET PGentrance exam,announced it will be held on March 12. The eligibility criteria require candidates who have completed a year of internship or are likely to finish it before May 31.
This has raised concern among students aspiring to sit for the exam as many of them couldn’t complete the internship due to compulsory Covid duties from April last year.
The resident doctor's association of the Centre-run Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital has written to the NBE requesting to revise the eligibility criteria for students undergoing internships. The RDA also mentioned that many of the students had delayed joining of internship due to personal health as well as issues like loss of family members during the wave.
“Due to these reasons, it is impossible that many candidates will complete the internship by May 31, thus making them ineligible to sit for the NEET PG 2022 and eventually leading to wastage of entire year. Thus as per the existing criteria, thousands of students across the nation will be deprived of the opportunity without any fault on their part,” read the letter.
