NEET MDS Postponement: Aspirants Express Distress
On sending an RTI regarding the NEET MDS Exam Date, the AISU have received a response saying that the Ministry of Health and Welfare is considering the postponement of the exam to July and that the request is in process. One student said, “The exam date is two weeks away and we’re still unsure whether we would be taking it. Candidates are distressed because of this confusion.” Another student was quoted as saying in a TOI report, “It is really illogical to just extend the eligibility cut off date since nobody can prepare for a national-level exam in less than 18 days. Plus, since counselling for both medical and dental NEET happens together, it is pointless in making us take our exam four months prior to their’s. Further, the authorities can’t admit us into the course before the first year PG students finish their exams which are usually held in December.”
