NEET PG 2023: Internship completion deadline extended, says FORDA's sources

FORDA India has said that as per their sources, the internship completion deadline for NEET PG 2023 has been extended, however, the official confirmation is still awaited.

The Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA) India has notified that going by their sources, the last date for completion of the internship for NEET PG 2023, which was earlier March 31, 2023, has been extended. However, there is no official confirmation yet.

FORDA India tweet reads, "Breaking news for all #NEETPG2023 aspirants! Acc to our sources, eligibility date has been extended. Keep an eye out for official notice-expected very soon."

Earlier, the doctors' association had raised the concern that if the date is not postponed, the majority of candidates are going to remain ineligible especially interns from states like Delhi, MP, Rajasthan and many others as under this rule most of the states currently have interns who will attain their completion after March 31, 2023.

Earlier senior officials of the National Board of Examinations and National Medical Commission had also hinted towards the extension of the internship completion date, as was reported by The Hindu.

If the date gets deferred, the NEET PG 2023 bulletin can be reissued.

The medical entrance exam is scheduled to be conducted on March 5, 2023, on a Computer Based Platform across India. The registration started on January 7, and January 27, 2023, is the last date to apply for the medical entrance test at the official website nbe.edu.in. The exam is for admission to 19,953 MD seats, 10,821 MS seats, and 1,979 PG Diploma seats.
