NEET PG 2022: Excerpts from letter to PM, President

Following are some excerpts from the letter to PM and President:

"As per the policy of NMC, there needs to be sufficient gap between counselling of one session and next examination. But this year the all India Counselling will be over by May 3, 2022, and state counselling will start afterwards which might go till mid or may end. The examination is scheduled for May 21, just a few days after the completion of All India counselling. This stands unfair. NMC is adamant about not postponing the exam as they want to start the session by August. They can still do so even if the exam is postponed till July without affecting the academic session of 2022."

"There is no one showing empathy to Covid warriors in times of urgency."

NEET PG 2022 postponement demand on social media

Here are a few tweets:

"Pls don’t be in a hurry to cover one year of delay in one year itself. Buffer it over 2-3 years please"

"You asked us 100 days. Now are asking just 50-60 days for our future. I think it’s only fair. Please postpone it."

"In new India our life saviours are forced to write the letter by their blood to save their future. The way Modi Govt is ignoring their rational demand to postpone #NEETPG2022 is totally unacceptable. We demand @MoHFW_INDIA to #PostponeNEETpG."
