The applicants have been advised to refer to the NBEMS website for the final schedule of NEET SS 2024 which will be published in the Information Bulletin at natboard.edu.in.
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced the tentative exam dates for the next National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Super Speciality or NEET SS exam. As per the schedule, the exam will likely be held on March 29 and 30. “The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) shall conduct the NEET-SS 2024 on 29th and 30th March 2025 at various examination centres across the country,” reads the official notice by the board.
The applicants have been advised to refer to the NBEMS website from time to time for the final schedule of examination which will be published in the Information Bulletin for NEET-SS 2024 at the official website — natboard.edu.in, the official notice stated.
The announcement comes after the Supreme Court declined to interfere with the National Medical Commission’s decision to defer the NEET SS 2024. The court, on August 14, had asked the commission to release the exam schedule within a month and hold the exam by January 2025.
According to the NMC, the delay in admissions for MD, MS, and DMB courses through the NEET PG exam in the academic session 2021 is the main reason behind the postponement of the exam. Due to COVID-19, the admission process for that’s year batch was held between January 2022 to May 2022, thus delaying the commencement of the new academic session. The course will now be completed in January 2025. Hence, the commission had decided to postpone the NEET-SS 2024 to accommodate these students.
The NMC also stated that at least 40 per cent of the students who take the NEET-SS exam are from the current batch. Students of the 2021 batch who would be completing their course by January 2025 would miss out on the exam if it is held this year.
The exams are usually held in two shifts – the morning shift and the afternoon shift. The first shift is conducted from 9 AM to 11:30 AM while the second shift is administered from 2 PM to 4:30 PM. The exams will be held at several test centres across the country.
