The chorus to postpone NEET PG 2022, the postgraduate medical entrance examination, is getting louder every day, with the Federation of All India Medical Association joining the voice of postgraduate medical aspirants.

“There was a delay in conducting the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-PG) 2021 exam to ensure the availability of a greater number of qualified physicians for COVID duties… the entrance exam was finally administered in September 2021, five months after the scheduled date. As a result of this delay, the candidates … have lost almost a year of their careers,” FAIMA said in a letter to the Minister of Health.
The counseling process, which was scheduled to begin in October 2021, was suspended following a Supreme Court case against 27% reservation for OBC and 10% reservation for OBC candidates in UG and PG medical admissions, it added.
