Shocked and depressed: NEET-PG aspirants

TRAVELLING from Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh to take her NEET-PG in Jaipur, Seetha (name changed) got to know that the exam has been cancelled. The 23-year-old is shocked as her one year's hard work went waste. "She is in shock and can't speak. We are trying to motivate her. My parents are very concerned," said her brother, also a doctor and doing residency in Rajasthan.

That's the condition of an estimated 2 lakh NEET-PG students who got to know on Saturday night that the Sunday exam of NEET-PG, a single entrance examination for admission to MD/MS and PG diploma courses, has been cancelled, for the third time this year. Many said the "arbitrary way" the PG exam was cancelled after the NEET-UG fiasco shows that medical education in India is a "complete mess."
