The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Post Graduate (NEET-PG) for 2024 is expected to be conducted in mid-August, according to sources briefed on Tuesday.
An official announcement regarding the revised exam date is anticipated later this week following discussions held on Monday at the Union home ministry.
The meeting, attended by officials from the health ministry, National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), technical partner Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Cyber Cell officials, focused on assessing readiness for the upcoming NEET-PG, slated to be conducted online.
"In addition to NEET-PG, the meeting evaluated the preparedness for the Foreign Medical Graduates Examination, scheduled for July 6," revealed a source familiar with the discussions.
TCS executives provided insights into the procedural aspects of the exam during the meeting aimed at ensuring the robustness of the examination system in upcoming sessions.
Earlier postponed from June 23 as a precautionary measure amidst integrity concerns in competitive exams, the NEET-PG's future scheduling was reassessed by the Union health ministry. A thorough evaluation of the examination processes, managed by NBEMS in collaboration with TCS, remains underway.
