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.
In this light, NEET PG 2021 candidates are making a strong appeal to prepone the schedule before August 31. They appeal to conduct NEET PG 2021 exam in early August. One of the students said that the public will face major frustration due to a shortage of doctors if the third wave strikes.
“Due to this unexpected postponement now the cutoff is gonna be very high!! plz consider keeping the NEET PG 2021 in early August before 3rd wave hits us. Plz, sir my humble request!! Help me achive my dream plz,” another aspirant tweeted tagging Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
