Doctors and MBBS graduates seeking postponement of the postgraduate entrance exam – NEET PG – have now approached the Prime Minister to fulfill their demands. After writing letter to Ministry of health, starting online petition and launching weeks-long online protest, doctors have now taken to Twitter and are trending #PostponeNEETPG_Modiji. With only few days left to exam, candidates are now approaching PM Modi to get a deferred exam date.

Several aspirants of NEET PG have been demanding the postponement of the exam due to the delay in NEET PG 2021 counseling process. The postponement in the counseling process leaves little time for students to prepare for the entrance exam. Further, they have said that conducting the exam would make around 5,000 medical interns, who served during the Covid-19 pandemic as Covid warriors, inligible to appear for the exam.

“Students who are left with no seats but did not register due to being busy with counseling or who lost their seats during mop-up cancellation will require time to prepare as well as register for the exam. Allowing them time to reiser and squeeze them into the current schedule can be chaotic,” said the medical students’ body had said in a letter to the education minister.
