Days after the Union Health Ministry postponed the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test postgraduate (NEET-PG) 2024 examination, which was scheduled for June 23, President of the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences Abhijat Sheth stated on June 25 that the SOPs and protocols will be reviewed as soon as possible, and the next date for the examination will be announced by next week.
Sheth's remark followed a review conference between officials from the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences and the Union Health Ministry to assess the situation and feedback received by the government before postponing the examination.
The government has postponed the NEET-PG 2024 examinations due to increasing criticism over alleged exam "irregularities" in the NEET-UG exam held on May 5.
"The integrity of this examination was never in doubt as far as NEET PG is concerned. For the last seven years, we have conducted so far successfully... Because of the recent events, what has happened that there were lots of concerns about all these sorts of examinations from the student communities and in response to that, the government has decided to ensure once more to make sure that the sanctity of the examination the safety and security must be maintained. So they have decided to review the SOPs and protocols as soon as possible. We will declare the next due date in one next week...," said Abhijat Sheth.
Further, on the advisory issued against social media messages, and fraudsters, warnings, he said, "This was for protection; that's why we published the SOPs before the examination, this is all perception, social media is so vast these days that sometimes it gives the wrong message to the students, and we wanted students should remain on the right path."
Speaking about the meeting between NEBMS officials and the Health Ministry, he stated, "It was mainly about reviewing the processes for computer-based examination and the inputs received by the government. The government has also provided directions to the examination body and Tata Consultancy Services, NEBMS' technical partner.
"We certainly work closely to ensure that even minor shortcomings are been taken care of," Dr Sheth added.
Earlier, the Ministry of Education stated that it had formed a high-level committee of specialists to give suggestions on reforms to the examination process mechanism, improvements to data security procedures, and the operation of the NTA. The seven-member group, led by former ISRO chairman Dr. K. Radhakrishnan, will give its report to the government within the next two months.
