Concerns Over NEET PG 2025 Exam Centres
The move came after aspirants across the country reported being allotted exam centres in far-off states for the medical entrance test, triggering widespread distress and anxiety.
Push for Exam Centre Change
With the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Postgraduate (NEET-PG) scheduled on August 3, the IMA-JDN has urged the Union Health Ministry to direct the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) to reopen the exam centre change portal. This would allow affected candidates to choose centres within their home state or nearby locations.
In the representation, the IMA-JDN emphasized that while some students have received centres in nearby cities, thousands of candidates have been assigned exam centres in distant states. This has compelled them to undertake long, expensive, and stressful journeys to unfamiliar destinations.
The doctors’ body expressed concern, stating, “This move is causing much concern, especially among the economically weaker sections, ladies, and those from remote or rural regions.”
“This disparity not only affects fairness but could negatively impact students’ mental well-being and performance in this critical, once-a-year exam,” the doctors’ body added. “IMA-JDN remains committed to ensuring equity and accessibility in all aspects of medical education and examination systems.”
