Postpone NEET PG 2023: Protesting Students File Plea In SC, Continue Demand To Delay Exam By 2-3 Months

Postpone NEET PG 2023: With just less than a month left for the exam to begin, the protesting students and doctors continued their demand to postpone NEET PG 2023. Their demand continued even after the Central government clarified that the medical exam will not be postponed. And now the agitating doctors have filed a case in Supreme Court just like the previous year.

NEET PG 2023: For the past may days, the NEET PG 2023 aspirants have been demanding the postponement of the exam.

Dr Rohan Krishnan, National Chairman of Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) said in a tweet, “Students have filed the case in supreme Court today evening.. They will get diary number tomorrow and get listing then. Shall have hearing within 3/4 days. Some senior counsel shall be fighting. We have worked really hard on this case. #NEETPG23 Kp studying! God bless.”

Last week, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya made it clear in the Lok Sabha that that the government in any case is not going to postpone the exam as they want to bring normalcy to the delayed admission cycles due to Covid pandemic.

As part of their protest, the doctors last week called for an OPD shutdown and warned of a total shutdown of medical services.

In the meantime, the agitating doctors took to Twitter to express their anguish and urged the authorities to postpone NEET PG 2023.

Last week, the protesting doctors under the banner Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) said they will move court and explore other legal options to postpone the medical exam by 2–3 months. One of the members of the FAIMA on Saturday said they are trying to get appointment with the PMO to discuss the matter.
