The request from the Congress leader comes at a time when the medical aspirants have been demanding for the examination to be postponed by about 8 to 10 weeks.

It must be noted that the NEET PG 2022 is scheduled for May 21 and the NBE or Central Government has not shown any interest in postponing the exam as of now. Moreover, the NEET PG admit cards are scheduled to release on May 16.

Here’s what students said:

Taking to Twitter, the students have asked the authorities to postpone the exam saying they are worried about it because they haven’t been able to get the time to prepare for it.

Some of the students said the counselling for NEET-PG 2021 is yet not over in many states and several students continue to attend counselling. How is it possible for many them to attend the counselling at one place and appear for the exam at another place?

SC hearing on May 13

Earlier, a plea was filed by the students in the Supreme Court, seeking postponement of the postgraduate examination.
