National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) PG 2023 is just a few weeks away and a section of candidates are still demanding the postponement of the exam. NEET PG 2023 candidates had earlier moved the Telangana High Court, which did not pass any order on postponing the exam. However, the High Court, while hearing the petition, asked the National Medical Commission (NMC) to reconsider the exam date fixed on March 5. The High Court has given two weeks time to NMC to file its reply.
After no definite order was received from the Telangana HC on postponing the exams, students seeking rescheduling of the exams have moved the Supreme Court. However, the petition has not yet been listed for hearing.
NMC refused to change the exam date and reply was sent to Telangana HC. However, NMC is expected to re-conduct the exam after the HC order to reconsider the date.
