Notably, the NEET PG exam date has been brought forward to June 23 from the previously scheduled date of July 7, 2024, prompting concerns and protests among some candidates.

To register for NEET PG 2024, candidates need to follow a series of steps outlined by
the NBEMS. First, they must visit the official NBEMS website and navigate to the NEET-

Upon clicking, a redirected page will facilitate registration. Subsequently, applicants are
required to complete the application form with accurate details, followed by making the
necessary payment. Finally, they must download the confirmation page for future

Eligibility criteria for NEET PG 2024 mandate that candidates must possess an MBBS
degree or provisional MBBS pass certificate from a university affiliated with the Medical
Council of India (MCI).

Additionally, medical graduates should hold a permanent or provisional registration
certificate issued either by MCI or the State Medical Council (SMC) and must have
completed a 12-month rotatory internship by August 15, 2024.

The NBEMS has also revised the exam fee, reducing it by Rs 750 for candidates of
all categories. The revised fee stands at Rs 3,500 for General and OBC candidates, and
Rs 2,500 for SC, ST, and PwD candidates.

The NEET PG exam comprises 200 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), with each correct
