On June 22, the Union health ministry postponed the NEET-PG entrance examination as a ‘precautionary measure’ amid allegations on the integrity of certain competitive exams.
The health ministry had said it will undertake a thorough assessment of the robustness of the processes of the NEET-PG, conducted by the NBEMS along with its technical partner TCS for medical students.
UGC-NET exam dates
Last week, the University Grants Commission-National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET) also announced fresh dates for the exam. The exam was cancelled a day after it was held on June 18 after the education ministry received inputs that the integrity of the exam was compromised. Now the exam will be conducted from August 21 to September 4.
The UGC-NET is a test to determine the eligibility for the award of Junior Research Fellowship, for appointment of assistant professors and admission to PhD courses.
