The new exam date for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for postgraduate courses (NEET PG) 2024 will be released this week, a senior official from the National Board of Examinations (NBE) told indianexpress.com on July 2.

As per NBE sources, a plan has been shared with the Centre and the NBE is awaiting an approval on the same. “We need to take proper care of logistics when conducting such a big exam like NEET PG. So we cannot announce the exam dates without first discussing and getting a green signal from TCS, our logistics partner, and the government,” the source explained.

The NBE postponed the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, Postgraduate (NEET PG) on June 22, less than 12 hours before the exam was scheduled to be held. Now, the exam may be conducted in August.

In an earlier report, NBE had clarified to indianexpress.com that “there were no reports of a paper leak or any other kind of such issue.” The exam, as per the NBE, was cancelled as the “Ministry wanted to check the robustness of the exam process, and we wanted to be sure that there is no vulnerability in this process.” The Ministry, NBE Chief explained, wanted to ensure that miscreants do not take undue advantage of the vulnerability of the students at a time when NTA exam cancellations had scared Indian students.
