National Board of Examinations Set to Announce NEET-PG 2024 Exam Dates Next Week, Confirms Education Minister Pradhan
The National Board of Examinations (NBE) will soon announce a revised schedule for NEET-PG within the next two days, as confirmed by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan during the Haryana BJP‘s extended state executive meeting in Panchkula.
Pradhan’s statement comes in light of the recent cancellations of NEET-PG and several other exams due to alleged irregularities in competitive tests, showcasing the government’s concern for students’ anxiety and the commitment to address the same.
Following the cancellation, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has rescheduled various exams like UGC-NET and CSIR UGC-NET, upholding integrity in examination processes.
The UGC-NET, initially set for June 18 but postponed due to suspected paper leaks, is now slated to take place from August 21 to September 4. The CBI is reportedly investigating the alleged leaks.
Similarly, the CSIR UGC-NET, crucial for admissions to PhD programs in sciences, has been rescheduled for July 25-27. Additionally, the National Common Entrance Test (NCET) is now set for July 10 after being postponed just before its June 12 commencement.
In response to ongoing controversies, a panel has been formed to oversee transparent examination processes through the National Testing Agency (NTA), ensuring fair conduct of exams for all candidates.
