NEET PG Date Announcement Expected ‘By Monday Or Tuesday’: Education Minister

Union Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan announced that revised dates for NEET PG 2024 are anticipated to be disclosed by Monday or Tuesday. Speaking at a press conference, Pradhan highlighted reforms underway at the National Testing Agency (NTA) under new leadership, including former ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan.

“We have introduced new measures to address the issue, and the entire case has been referred to the CBI. New examination dates, which were recently postponed or cancelled, were announced yesterday,” Pradhan stated.

The minister also criticized the Congress, accusing them of obstructing institutional functioning and avoiding discussions on student-related matters.

“We are prepared for discussions, but Congress prefers to keep issues unresolved,” Pradhan remarked, referring to historical precedents predating 2014.

Pradhan’s remarks followed the NTA’s recent announcement regarding revised dates for UGC NET 2024, which is set to be conducted in multiple shifts from August 21 to September 4. The exam will return to its computer-based format after a pen-and-paper mode was utilized for the June edition, attended by over 9,08,580 candidates.

Stay tuned as further updates on NEET PG 2024 dates are expected early next week.
