New Delhi: The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences said on Friday that the NEET-PG 2024 entrance exam will take place on August 11 in two shifts.

"In continuation of NBEMS notice dated 22.06.2024, the conduct of the NEET-PG 2024 examination has been rescheduled. It will now be conducted on August 11 in two shifts.

The Union Health Ministry on June 22 postponed the NEET-PG entrance examination, scheduled to be held on June 23, as a "precautionary measure" in the wake of allegations on the integrity of certain competitive exams.
Several meetings since then have been held with officials from the Union Health Ministry, National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) along with its technical partner Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), National Medical Commission (NMC) and Cyber Cell officials to evaluate the "robustness" of the system for the conduct of the exam, sources said.
The Ministry of Health had decided to undertake a thorough assessment of the robustness of the processes of the NEET-PG entrance examination.
The National Eligibility Entrance Test-Postgraduate (NEET-PG) entrance examination is conducted by NBEMS along with its technical partner TCS for medical students.
