NEET PG: Internship clash with exam
Abhishek, Neha, and several other NEET PG candidates are claiming that their ongoing internships have left them with insufficient time to prepare for the exam. Lakhan Prakash Gupta, currently interning at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), stated that his daily hospital duty of 20-24 hours has caused him stress and left him with no time to study. Candidates are also alleging that the National Board of Examinations (NBE) failed to take suggestions from state authorities and medical institutes, indicating a lack of management and accountability.
Admit Card Chaos for NEET PG Exam
The National Board of Examinations (NBE) had issued admit cards on March 3, but many candidates took to Twitter to discourage others from downloading them. According to them, the NBE released the admit cards merely to demonstrate to the Supreme Court that candidates have no problems with the exam date. “I refrained from downloading the admit card in the morning because we were aware that the NBE was attempting to convince the Supreme Court that we were okay with the exam date, which is not true. I tried to download it now, but the website is down due to heavy traffic,” said Singh.
Choudhary also mentioned that his NEET PG examination center is located more than two hours away from his hometown. “I live in Saharanpur, and my exam center is in Meerut. Even if I raise any objections, they will only tell me to travel there early in the morning, without understanding the stress of appearing for such a significant exam in a different city.”
