According to the latest media reports, Applicant Ramesh has said before the HC that the NEET-PG examination, carried out by NBE, is a computer-based examination. The timeline to receive an online application for tests has been from February 23 to March 15.
However, because choices for exam centers on the availability of test centers in the city, within a few hours after the start of the online application process on February 23, all 28 centers in the state and one in Puducherry were filled. Because of this, many students were forced to choose an exam center outside Tamil Nadu.
The report added that Madurai member of Parliament(MP) S. Venkateshan also raised the problem to the Minister of Health on February 24. The applicant has mentioned it in a request and has asked HC to take steps so students do not need to travel far to write a test.
While commenting on this problem, Advocate Ramesh has told the new Indian Express, “I have learned from various sources within a few hours of portal opening that allows candidates to register, the system responds to the effect that all test centers in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry have been taken and That the centers did not find a place on the center list while registering online. “
