NEET MDS 2024: Dental Association to launch survey on exam postponement

The survey is to show the government that how many students want NEET MDS 2024 postponement.

Will NEET MDS 2024 be postponed: The students have been demanding to postpone NEET MDS 2024 to July 2024 as the NEET PG 2024 exam date. However, the government is all set to conduct the NEET MDS 2024 exam on March 18, 2024. 

All India Students Dental Association has said that they will launch a survey and tag the union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya to show how many aspirants demand NEET MDS 2024 postponement.

The Association has given options of March 18, May, June, and July to choose from and asked when the aspirants want the exam to be conducted. Supreme Court of India has already asked to bring parity in NEET MDS and NEET PG with respect to exam conduction and eligibility. Also, the current cutoff date criteria, which is set at March 31, 2024, makes around 7K to 8K BDS interns ineligible to appear in the examination, if it is held on March 18, 2024.

"More than 8,000 students debarred from the exam!! No proper survey done by DCI to check the eligibility as done by NMC for #NEETPG WE #NEETMDS2024 aspirants demand 1. Increase in eligibility criteria to accomodate 5,000 students 2. Consider the reschedule of #NEETMDS2024 exam to bring parity with #NEETPG and give proper time for preparation. 3. Conduct common councelling and admission after the exam," reads a message on X by All India Medical Students' Association.
