On Friday, August 9, the Supreme Court will consider a plea for postponing the NEET-PG 2024 exam, which is scheduled for August 11. The plea, filed by lawyer Anas Tanwir on behalf of petitioner Vishal Soren, argues that the test cities assigned to candidates are highly inconvenient, making travel arrangements difficult.

Candidate concerns over test centre allocation

According to the plea, the test cities were only allocated on July 31, with specific centres to be announced on August 8. This last-minute information, intended to prevent malpractices, has left candidates with insufficient time to prepare for travel, prompting the rescheduling request.

Original exam date and postponement

The NEET-PG 2024 exam was originally scheduled for June 23 but was postponed by the Union Health Ministry due to alleged irregularities in other competitive exams. A current plea seeks a further delay to address candidates’ logistical challenges, and the Supreme Court’s decision on Friday could determine whether the exam will proceed as planned.
