The Supreme Court will hear a plea on NEET PG 2023 postponement today, February 24, 2023. NEET PG 2023 is scheduled on March 5, 2023. The doctors who are aspirants of NEET PG 2023 candidates have filed a petition requesting the postponement of the post-graduate medical examination. The petition has been scheduled for hearing as item 53 before a bench comprising Justices Ravindra Bhat and Dipankar Datta. The two writ petitions have been filed by Advocate Tanvi Dubey and Senior Advocate Vivek Thankha will represent the petitioners.
Recently, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) extended the NEET PG 2023 internship cut-off date to June 30, 2023.
As per the filed petition, subsequent to the extension of the internship cut-off date, candidates from numerous states approached the NBE requesting a further extension of the cut-off date and the postponement of the examination, as over 13,000 candidates remained ineligible.
