Several doctors requested NMC regarding clarification of the NEET SS 2024 exam date. The medicos highlighted their concerns that postponing NEET SS exam date would increase the existing challenges for students. 

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has received multiple requests from medical students to make clarification concerning the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Super Speciality (NEET-SS) 2024 examination. The doctors have requested NMC to disclose the NEET SS 2024 exam date at the earliest so that students are well aware and prepared for the examination. 

The doctors under the Indian Medical Association Junior Doctors' Network (IMA-JDN) have raised concerns referring to the earlier communication where the PG board of NMC has indicated that the NEET SS 2024 Exam May Not Be Held This Year. 

NMC Clarification on NEET SS 2024

NMC has recently shared Minutes of a Meeting with social and political activist Dr Vivek Pandey stating that NEET SS 2024 may be cancelled as the MD/MS and DNB admission in the academic year 2021 were only held from January to May 2022. 

"Regarding NEET SS-2024, it was decided that as admissions for academic year 2021 for MD/MS and DNB courses were held only for January to May 2022, therefore, NEET SS-2024 may not be conducted in the current year. However, the exact date of counselling NEET SS- 2024 in the year 2025 will be decided later." Read the minutes of the meeting. 

Further, the association raised their concern that postponing NEET SS 2024 exam date would increase the already existing problems of the aspirants and create uncertainty and anxiety, as reported by Medical Dialogues. 

"While cognizant of the complexities posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its disruptive impact on the academic calendar, the decision to defer the NEET SS examination for the academic year 2024 carries profound ramifications for aspiring candidates. Such a postponement not only derails their career trajectory but also engenders considerable uncertainty and anxiety among them." The official letter reads.
