The list of test cities for NEET PG 2024 has been made public by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Science (NBEMS). Today, July 19, the board will launch the portal for the test city selection window. Again, candidates will have to select the exam cities of their choice.
This implies that the previously issued admit cards that listed the exam cities and centers will no longer be accepted. Applicants can select the city of their test by going to natboard.edu.in, the official website. The deadline for choosing the test city is July 22.
What Does The Official Notice State?
“The official notice from NBEMS states that all candidates who received admit cards for NEET-PG 2024 will need to select their preferred test city again by utilizing an online window that will be open from July 19 to July 22, 2024 (until 11:55 PM).”
On August 8, the NBEMS NEET PG 2024 admission card will be made available. On July 29, the candidates will receive information about their test cities at the email addresses they have registered. The official press release adds, “The test center venue in the test city allocated shall be intimated through admit card which shall be released on August 8, 2024, at NBEMS website.”
What is The New Exam Date of The NEET Exam?
The new date for NEET PG Exam 2024 is August 11, instead of June 23, as originally planned. The notification stated that August 15, 2024, will continue to be the deadline for eligibility to appear in the NMC NEET PG 2024.
By the official announcement, applicants are required to select four test cities from the list of options on the application form, where they would want to take the test. The announcement added that “The candidate shall be offered to choose from the test cities of nearby States/UTs whenever the number of available test cities in a State/UT of correspondence address is less than four or the demand of testing seats is exceeding the available capacity in the state of correspondence address.”
These four options will not be taken into consideration in terms of test city preference; instead, the test city list of NEET PG 2024 will be assigned to an applicant at random from the list of options. It’s possible that for reasons like overcrowding, administrative, logistical, or security-related issues, a test center cannot be established in any of these four recommended test cities.
In these situations, the test center will be assigned to the candidate in one of the closest sites within the state of correspondence address or in neighboring states/UT. NBEMS will assign a test center anywhere in the nation to candidates who do not indicate their preference for the test cities within this online session.
