Postpone NEET PG 2023 Latest Updates: Amid ongoing demands to defer NEET PG 2023, the protesting students along with Advocate Ravi Ponempalli met the officials of NMC and submitted a representation seeking NEET PG 2023 exam postponement. The Telangana High Court had suggested the aspirants submit a fresh representation to NMC for which the NMC has to respond as early as possible.

The plea seeks to postpone the NEET PG 2023 exam, which is currently scheduled for March 5.
