The NEET PG 2024 exam dates have been extended, as stated by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). Originally scheduled for June 23, 2024, the exam was postponed just 12 hours prior as a precautionary measure. The NEET PG 2024 exam will now be held on August 11, 2024, in two shifts. This change comes as part of the NBEMS’s effort to ensure the exam's integrity and proper conduct.

Reason for Postponement and Rescheduling
The postponement of NEET PG 2024 on June 22, 2024, was made by the Union Health Ministry due to concerns about the integrity of competitive exams. The decision to reschedule was taken to allow for a comprehensive assessment of the examination process. The health ministry, in collaboration with technical partner TCS, will review the NEET PG 2024 examination procedures to ensure their robustness and fairness. The revised exam date aims to provide a more secure and reliable testing environment for medical students.

Eligibility and Further Information
August 15, 2024, is still the deadline for eligibility to appear in NEET PG 2024. The examination will be conducted in two shifts on the rescheduled date. Detailed information about the exam schedule and logistics will be updated on the NBEMS website (https://natboard.edu.in). Candidates are advised to regularly check the website for the latest updates and instructions regarding NEET PG 2024.

In addition to NEET PG 2024, other competitive exams have also faced changes in their schedules. For instance, the UGC-NET exam, which was canceled shortly after its initial administration, has been rescheduled to take place from August 21 to September 4, 2024.

The NEET PG 2024 rescheduling underscores the NBEMS's commitment to maintaining the integrity and smooth conduct of medical entrance exams.
