The National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) for all postgraduate medical seats across the country will now be held only in 2013 as the central government has decided not to hold the test in 2012 due to lack of resources and expertise.
"In view of lack of resources we have decided that the test will now be held in 2013 and the National Board for Examination (NBE) will be roped in to conduct the test. It will by then strengthen its own resources and infrastructure. At present, it does not have the capability for holding the exam," said the Health Secretary PK Pradhan.
The test was earlier scheduled to be held in January-February 2012 for admissions in the academic year 2012-2013. The Medical Council of India had requested the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to hold the test on its behalf for approximately 21000 PG seats in the country.
