  • ‘Conducting NEET-PG 2024 In Two Shifts Is Standard Technique’: NBEMS President

The NEET PG exam is now rescheduled to be held in two shifts on August 11.

New Delhi: Dr Abhijat Sheth, the president of the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) on Friday said that conducting the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) examination in two shifts is a “standard technique”. He said that previously the exam was held in multiple shifts.

Earlier on Friday, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) announced new dates for the NEET PG exam. Originally scheduled for June 22, the exam was postponed as a precautionary measure just 12 hours before it was due to take place. The NEET PG exam is now rescheduled to be held in two shifts on August 11.

“In the past, before we joined the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences, this exam was conducted in multiple shifts, not in two shifts. The same mechanism of normalization ratio was applied,” said Dr Abhijat Sheth while talking to news agency ANI

He was replying to the question of whether the exam was earlier held in shifts.

Sheth said that the students should not worry about the examination being conducted in two shifts as it applies to most of the other exams in the country.

“Yes, we have decided to conduct the NEET-PG on August 11 in two shifts. Students should not worry about the two-shift examination because it applies to most of the other exams in the country that are taken in the shifts. The cut-off date for the purpose of the eligibility to appear in the NEET-PG 2024 will continue to be August 15, 2024,” he said.

On the issue of how fairness would be maintained in the exam in both shifts, he said that conducting exams in two shifts is “normal.”

“This is a standard technique for conducting the exams not only in the country but around the globe. Standard normalisation ration will be applied in two shifts. I don’t see any problem with this issue. The students should not worry about this. The steps have been taken in the best interest of the students, and we will ensure that the logistics of the examination will be even improved,” he said adding that August 11 is the final day for conducting the NEET-PG exam this year.

“In continuation of the NBEMS notice dated June 22, 2024, the conduct of the NEET-PG 2024 examination has been rescheduled. The NEET-PG 2024 will now be on August 11, 2024, in two shifts,” said the notice.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on July 8 a batch of pleas alleging paper leaks and irregularities in the NEET-UG exam.
