It is to be noted that the demand for NEET PG 2023 postponement was raised by medical aspirants over four weeks ago after it was announced by National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) that NEET PG 2023 entrance exam will be held on March 5.

Earlier, Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA) had also urged the government to extend the MBBS internship cut-off date.

In a related development, a  delegation of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has written a letter to Health Minister Mandaviya seeking an extension of the NEET PG 2023 internship deadline. The ABVP, in its letter, also sought an extension of the NEET PG 2023 internship eligibility date to July 31, 2023.
