When was the exam held?

NBEMS conducted NEET PG 2024 in two shifts at 416 centers in 170 cities. The exam was conducted on August 11 after several allegations of paper leak and postponement. The board recently clarified that the normalisation process followed by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences New Delhi (AIIMS New Delhi) for its various exams will be adopted for the NEET PG result declaration.

NEET PG Cut-Off Trend

In December 2023, the Union Health Ministry informed that 247 PG medical seats remain vacant after the conclusion of counselling. Citing the rising number of vacant seats, NEET PG aspirants and doctor groups demanded the NMC to reduce the NEET PG cut-off percentile by 10-15 marks. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) requested the cut-off percentile to be reduced by 30% to fill seats for both clinical and non-clinical courses. However, the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on September 20 approved the NMC’s recommendation to “zero” the qualifying percentile for NEET PG 2023 across all categories. The previous year NEET PG cut-off before zeroing it is given below.
