NEET-MDS 2024
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the NEET-MDS 2024 exam postponement case on March 15 (Friday), just 3 days before the exam date. Please note that the NEET-MDS 2024 exam is scheduled to be held on March 18 (Monday). In such a situation, all eyes are fixed on the Supreme Court. Several MDS students have filed a petition in the Supreme Court to overturn the decision not to reschedule the exam date. Students believed that this could prevent thousands of them from appearing for the most important exam of their professional career.
MDS Admit Card can be released on March 15 only.
Many NEET-MDS candidates have expressed their displeasure over this and demanded an early hearing after the March 15 hearing date was announced. Please note that the MDS Admit Card is likely to be issued on the same day. The candidates are demanding the court to hear the matter first as they are very confused about the hearing taking place just three days before the exam. According to many students, trainees from various states have faced a gap of 7-9 months in training due to COVID-19 and hence their internship completion dates have been extended to August. Officials have set the eligibility criteria for the current exam as March 31, which they say is unfair. A group of applicants had earlier requested the Supreme Court to shift the NEET-MDS 2024 exam to July.
The government has not taken any decision.
The Supreme Court, during its hearing on February 21, directed the Center to take a decision on representation in the NEET-MDS 2024 examination as soon as possible. However, even after the instructions of the court, the government did not take any decision. The petition filed by the candidates said, “It is clear that the counseling always starts after the internship cut-off date. In 2023 also, the internship cut-off date for NEET MDS was June 30, 2023 and There was provisional general. counselling. NEET PG and NEET MDS were released only in August 2023.”
what is the problem
2018-2019: The applicant is a 2018 Bachelor of Dental Surgery batch who took admission in September 2018. The university first year results were declared in September 2019. In which there was no delay.
May 2021: The 2nd year results were usually declared in September 2020, but due to Covid there was a delay of 7 months to May 2021.
June 2022: Third year results are usually declared in September 2021, and due to the delay in declaration of previous year results, in June 2022.
June 2023: 4th year results are usually declared in September 2022, last year in June, 2023 due to delay in declaration of results (except Kerala July 2023).
July 2023: One-year mandatory Rotary Internship for student interns begins.
December 2023: The National Medical Council surveyed all the colleges and found that a large number of MBBS interns of the 2018 batch would complete their internship only after June 2024 and if the eligibility/cut-off date was 31 March, a The year will be wasted. . 2024 and hence the eligibility (cut-off date) for completing the internship was to be extended accordingly. However, the Dental Council of India has not conducted any such survey. BDS students have the same situation as MBBS students.
January 9, 2024: The National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced the eligibility/cut-off date for appearing in NEET-PG 2024 as 15.8.24 and examination date as 7.7.24.
20 January 2024: NBEMS declared eligibility/cut off date for completion of internship as 31.3.24 and exam date as 18.3.24, despite knowing that internship will be completed in June 2024, (Kerala in September 2024) BDS students. By setting the cut-off date as 31 March 2024 for appearing in the NEET MDS 2024 exam, 40% of the interns of the 2018 BDS batch would not have completed their internship. Around 8000 students across India including Kerala, Orissa, MP, UP, Jammu and Kashmir, AP and Rajasthan will be excluded.
There is an overlap of the UG course syllabus for the first three years of the MBBS and BDS courses, and it is only from the fourth year that students enter various medical and dental specialties.
After the fourth year, students are admitted to a one-year compulsory Rotary Internship Program where they gain substantial clinical experience in various specialized fields. Both BDS and MBBS students went through the covid period together and faced similar delays in conducting annual exams and training. Therefore, pushing back the cut-off date of 2018 batch of MBBS interns from 31 March 2024 to 15 August 2024 is discriminatory and not for BDS students.
Counseling for MBBS students and BDS students is always done at the same time after the internship period is over.
Students are under stress.
Speaking to India TV Digital, Dr. Ayesha Nazreen, 2018 batch intern at Government Dental College and Hospital, Mumbai, said that students across the country face a lot of stress and uncertainty due to less time for intern preparation. are doing “Trainee students are being denied the right to compete fairly with their peers as they lack theoretical and clinical skills. Just postponing the exams will prevent these students from competing fairly,” he said. ” Appropriate time will be available as per requirement.
Another intern student Dr. Rishabh Chakraborty expressed his concern over the matter and said, “It is alarming how MoHFW is jeopardizing the careers of thousands of hardworking intern students of the 2018 Covid batch who are eligible by August-September. There won’t be. Every year they put us through the same trauma. It needs to end forever.”
