SRINAGAR, Nov 29: With no National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) centre in Kashmir for postgraduate (PG) medical courses, Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) today said that this decision has left aspirants in lurch.
The DAK president, Dr Nisar-ul-Hassan said the lack of NEET centre for MD/MS/PG Diploma courses would jeopardize the future of thousands of aspiring doctors. “National Board of Examinations (NBE) will be conducting NEET for admission to various PG courses for the academic session 2017 from December 5 to 13,” he said.
While 86 centres in 41 cities across the country have been set up, Kashmir has been left out, said Dr Nisar, adding that they were surprised with the decision of not providing a centre in Kashmir. “This would mean that doctors who were hoping to pursue PG courses would not be able to do so.
“As NEET has become mandatory for all medical courses, anxiety has gripped aspirants as they will not be able to write the test. It is a dream for every doctor to become a specialist, but the aspirations of doctors in Kashmir have been shattered”, the DAK president said.
