Telangana High Court Denies Objections

The Telangana High Court had previously received a petition from some protesting students asking for the NEET-PG 2023 exam to be postponed. The National Board of Examinations (NBE) should think twice before changing the date of the medical entrance exam to relieve NEET aspirants, the Telangana High Court noted after hearing the case.

Why Do Students Protest?

According to the protesting students, if the exam is given in March and the counseling is held in August, they won’t have enough time to apply for jobs or study if the dates are changed. In contrast, they will have more time to study if the test is postponed.
