The NEET-PG entrance exam, originally planned for tomorrow, June 23, 2024, has been moved to another date. This change comes after some recent concerns about the trustworthiness of a few national exams.

The organization responsible for this medical students' test, the National Board of Examination, recently mentioned the issue of people in social media groups selling question papers for money.

As a way to keep the NEET-PG Entrance Exam fair and honest, the Ministry of Health announced last Saturday that they are going to closely review how the exam is run. They will let everyone know the new exam date as soon as they can.

The Ministry of Health has said sorry for the trouble this has caused students. They explained, "We decided to do this to make sure the exam is completely honest and to look out for the students." This situation isn't the first time an exam has been delayed.

After the UGC-NET was pushed back due to the leaking of exam papers online, this is now the second time a competitive test has faced such issues. There's also an ongoing problem with some issues reported in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for undergraduates.

Just the day before, the National Testing Agency mentioned that due to "unavoidable reasons," they had to postpone the CSIR-UGC-NET exam, supposed to start on June 25.
