According to NDTV, following the meeting of Home Ministry officials with an anti-cybercrime body, sources disclosed that the postgraduate medical entrance examination will be held this month. Additionally, the question paper will be prepared two hours ahead of the exam.

Scheduled for June 23 the NEET-PG exam was postponed hours before its commencement amid a row over alleged irregularities, including leaked papers, for the UG exam.
