NEET-PG: TN aspirants allotted exam centres in neighbouring AP again
CHENNAI: Several NEET-PG aspirants from Tamil Nadu have raised concerns over being allotted exam centres in Andhra Pradesh for the upcoming test scheduled for August 3. Despite repeated representations, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has continued the practice, they said. Dr M Manikandan, an aspirant, said he has been assigned a centre in Narasaraopet, Andhra Pradesh, while some of his peers received centres in Rajahmundry, about 600 km from Chennai. 'They do this every year. We are forced to travel at least two days in advance, book tickets and arrange stay. This is an unnecessary burden on the doctors who are preparing for the exam,' he said. Around 1,000 aspirants from Tamil Nadu have been allotted centres outside the state, said Dr G R Ravindranath, general secretary of the Doctors' Association for Social Equality (DASE). 'Over 60,000 candidates from Tamil Nadu apply for NEET-PG annually.

NEET-PG aspirants allotted exam centres in other States, original choices ignored: TNRDA
Despite selecting three preferred cities within Tamil Nadu, many aspirants of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Post Graduate 2025 (NEET-PG), which is scheduled to be held on August 3, have been allotted examination centres in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, in complete disregard to their original choices, the Tamil Nadu Resident Doctors Association (TNRDA) has said. In a statement issued, TNRDA expressed serious concern over the manner in which the exam centres were allotted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). Noting that there were widespread grievances among candidates, the association said that students who selected cities in T.N., such as Chennai, Madurai and Coimbatore, were denied centres in their State and allotted to faraway cities in other States. The 'First-Come, First-Serve' basis was violated, as even early applicants were not granted preferred cities. TNRDA added that several candidates were notified only of the State, not the city, till the last moment. The allotment process has led to heightened mental stress, especially among women and rural candidates who now face long-distance travel and safety concerns, it said. The association noted that this was a systemic failure despite clear NBEMS guidelines. The NBEMS's notice on July 7 assured that 'more cities will be added and city selection will be first-come, first-serve' basis, and candidates will be able to see only cities where seats are available. In reality, there is a complete mismatch between policy and implementation, the association added. TNRDA demanded an increase in the number of exam centres within each State, especially Tamil Nadu, to accommodate all local applicants and to ensure city-level allotment transparency and prevent cross-State allotment unless consented to by the candidate. It demanded to allow re-allotment or correction window for affected aspirants immediately and to publish a city-wise seat matrix to justify the allotment process. It also put forward the need to establish a dedicated grievance redressal helpline with swift resolution. Subjecting NEET-PG candidates to chaotic logistics and mental exhaustion in the name of 'technical limitations' is unjust and unacceptable, it said. TNRDA urged the Union Health Ministry and NBEMS to act responsibly and restore fairness to the NEET-PG 2025 process.

2-3% working professionals return for PG after job stint
Mangaluru: A growing number of working professionals in Mangaluru, are taking a break to return to campuses to pursue their post-graduation. This trend, once mainly associated with MBA/MCA aspirants, has spread to other professional and allied health sciences courses. Educational institutions have noted that there is a slight increase in enrolment of those returning after gaining industry experience to upgrade their academic qualifications. Currently, the number of those returning to campus for post-graduation is around 2% to 3% on campus. Dr Alwyn V D'Sa, registrar of St Aloysius (deemed to be university), noted a shift in academic timelines among students. "There was a time when students were expected to complete both, UG and PG by the age of 23. But students are choosing to work after their UG before returning later, for their post graduation. Those who come back after gaining work experience often have an edge. They are not only more aware of their strengths and interests but are also better paid, even if their academic scores aren't the highest. Many change their field of study entirely, after spending time in the industry. What was once common for MBA or MCA courses is now seen across disciplines," he said adding that this trend mirrors a growing adoption of Western academic culture, where students work and later complete higher studies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cách giao dịch ETH/USD mà không cần nắm giữ Ether IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Dr Sunitha Saldanha, dean at Yenepoya School of Allied Health Sciences, said, "I always wished that, especially in courses like allied health sciences, students would return for higher education only after gaining valuable work experience or a long internship. On our campus, we have around 3% of such candidates who returned to studies after work experience," she said. Dr Vijay Kumar M, vice-chancellor, Yenepoya (deemed to be university), however, said that the medical field is seeing a reverse trend where UG students soon after completing graduation, want to crack NEET-PG or related entrance examinations and rush to postgraduate courses. "Earlier, those who completed MBBS would work for a few years and later go to postgraduate studies."

SC To Hear Pleas On NEET-PG Transparency, Answer Keys & Evaluation Process On Aug 3
Last Updated: The Supreme Court will hear pleas over NEET-PG transparency, focusing on the release of answer keys and clarity in the evaluation process on August 3. The Supreme Court on Monday scheduled August 3 as the date for hearing multiple petitions raising concerns over the transparency in the NEET-PG examination process, particularly regarding the disclosure of answer keys and evaluation methods. A bench consisting of Justices K Vinod Chandran and NV Anjaria briefly took up the matters for consideration. One of the petitions, filed through advocate Tanvi Dubey, challenges the lack of clarity in the evaluation process and seeks several directions to the National Board of Examinations (NBE), the body responsible for conducting the NEET-PG exam. The petition demands the release of question papers and corresponding answer keys to candidates, along with details of which questions were marked correct or incorrect during assessment. It also requests a mechanism for rechecking or revaluation in cases where candidates suspect scoring errors. Additionally, the plea seeks provisions allowing students to raise objections against disputed questions or answers and calls for the establishment of a transparent and accountable evaluation framework for both current and future NEET-PG exams. The petition highlights that the current opaque system erodes trust in the examination's credibility and violates the rights of aspirants. view comments First Published: July 14, 2025, 13:39 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
