NEET PG results 2013: Medicos protest delay


National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET PG) aspirants protested against the delay in declaration of results. The medical aspirants wore black ribbons & took out protest rallies. It was expected that the results would be declared by January 31. The exam was conducted from November 23 and December 6.There are about 5,000 PG seats in medical colleges across the country. NEET-PG was introduced as an exam for admissions to MD/MS/Diploma courses in medical colleges (for both government and private) across India. About 90, 000 students have been affected by the delay of results.
The vacation of Supreme Court will start on May 13 and  will re-open on July 1. The delay has affected 90,000 students who now do not know whether they are to give up their jobs and get a seat in medical school. The deadline for counselling is May 31. There was some speculation that this deadline could be extended depending on when NEET-PG results would be declared.
The following arguments have been made:
>> Private, minority and deemed universities should only accept NEET-UG and NEET-PG
>> No other interviews or additional exams are allowed
>> Two state committees would ensure admission practices followed rules and regulations
Students now hope that a verdict will be reached soon. The Supreme Court goes on vacation on May 13 and only opens on July 1.

Why DNB exam tougher than MS/MD exam?

Guest article by Dr Kalyan R Kone   There were 6 people (accompanied by their relatives) sitting in the small waiting room outside the ward waiting for their call inside. They looked battered, tense and had such a depressed look in their eyes that even Shylock would have sympathized with them. They had cleared their DNB (Diplomate of National Board) theory exam and were making last minute preparations for their practical exam. If I were not told that they were all Doctors, I would have thought that they were all waiting for their turn to see a psychiatrist. Dr Kalyan R Kone Five out of six of those waiting doctors were appearing for the second or third time. In spite of that, they didn’t know what would be in store for them except one thing — only one or two would pass out of the six candidates.
