The NBEMS president has reiterated the board's unwavering commitment to the integrity of the NEET-PG exam.

The National Board of Examinations for Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has announced a change in the examination mode for the National Eligibility Entrance Test-Postgraduate (NEET PG) 2024. The NBEMS stated that various medical entrance exams in the country will have compulsory time-bound sections.
The NBEMS's decision to introduce mandatory time-bound sections in all MCQ-based examinations such as NEET-PG, NEET-MDS, NEET-SS, FMGE, DNB-PDCET, GPAT, DPEE, FDST and FET conducted on a computer-based platform is a significant step. This measure has been taken to enhance the security and sanctity of the examinations, given the new threats during the examination process, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
According to the notification, the new pattern is divided into several time-bound sections. Candidates must complete each section within the allotted time before moving on to the next one. It should be noted that a candidate cannot check or change his answers to a section after the allotted time has elapsed. This change is expected to increase the focus and concentration of the candidates during the examination, as they will need to manage their time effectively to complete each section within the given time frame.
