Live Updates: Supreme Court Defers NEET PG 2023 Postponement Plea; Order likely on Monday

After hearing arguments of both sides, Supreme Court has posted NEET PG 2023 postponemnet matter for Monday. 

Supreme Court has started hearing plea filed by students, seeking exam postponement. Both the sides are presenting facts in the matter. 

NEET PG 2023 pattern was announced along with the official information brochure by NBE . According to pattern, the exam will be held in computer-based mode in English language only. The question paper will have 200 multiple choice questions and allotted time will be 3.5 hours. 

NMC has issued speaking order against several representations for NEET PG 2023 postponemnt. In its order, NMC has disposed off all pleas for postponement.

A bench comprising Justices Ravindra Bhat and Dipankar Datta will be hearing the petition shortly. Petitions have been listed at item 53. Currently the bench is hearing item 44.

NBE had reopened NEET PG 2023 registration window for eleigible candidates after extension of internship cut off date to August 11. Candidates were allowed to register from February 9 to February 12 on the official website. Earlier the internship cut off deadline was June 30.

Students believe there is a long gap beetween exam and counselling. Exam is scheduled in March first week while counselling can't begin before August. Candidates neither can join any job or devote time for preparation in the remaining time. This is sheer mismanagement, says a student. Had NBE declared cut off checking with all the State Medical Councils, there may not have had any issue, say students. 

The Supreme Court will be hearing two writ petitions regarding NEET PG 2023 postponement. Reportedly, Senior Advocate Vivek Thankha will represent the petioners in the court.

There are two petitions to be heard in Supreme Court today. Reportedly, the petitions have been listed as item 53. The bench is currently hearing item number 37. 

On February 10, the Union Health Minister had rejected NEET PG 2023 postponement plea. While speaking in Parliament, he said NEET PG 2023 date was announced way before giving students enough time for preparation. Moreover, NEET PG 2023 internship deadline has been extended to August 11 to include more eligible candidate, said the Minister. 

Supreme Court may or may not give judgement in students' favour on NEET PG 2023 matter. Both the possiblities are there in the Supreme Court. There is a high chance that SC will not interfere in the policy matter.

As per the existing schedule, NBE will release NEET PG 2023 admit card on February 27. If Supreme Court directs NBE to postpone the exam today, the admit card will not be released on the said date. The admit card is uploaded on the official website and candidates have to download it  by providing login credentials. 

Supreme Court will start hearing NEET PG 2023 petition anytime soon. Candidates are hopeful that the top court will give judgement in their favour. The petition was filed after Telangana High Court refused to entertain the plea, seeking NEET PG 2023 deferment. Candidates are demanding exam postponement by at least 5-6 weeks.

With exam scheduled on March 5, there are only 10 days left for exam to begin. Amid the ongoing uncertanity, it seems very difficult for aspirants to concentrate as they have no idea whether exam will be held as per the scheule or not. However, candidates are advised not to lose focus and continue preparation with strategy. 

Nothing can be said right now as it is up to court how it looks at things. It may not interfere in the matter, terming it the policy decision. In that case, the exam will be as per the schedule. All eyes are on Supreme Court which is all set to give decision on plea, seeking NEET PG 2023 postponement.
