One of the aspirants said, “Release the date of NEET PG as soon as possible and take back the orders of postponing it till 31st august! It doesn’t make any sense as the cases are low right now and nobody knows about the future! So it’s the right time to take NEET PG.”
When the final year PG university exam can be conducted in this current time, why NEET PG can’t another aspirant asked.
Please schedule the exam date to bring back doctors in the stream. In the future, we may need them, a tweet from Dr Sushma Prabha said.
'Shortage of doctors will be a big issue if the third wave strikes'
Reportedly a mutant version of the corona, Delta plus, has emerged in Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh and some other states. Around 40 cases have been reported from various parts of the country. Experts believe that the third wave of covid-19 may hit India in 6-8 weeks.
