Top-ranking NEET-PG students are increasingly opting for non-surgical super-specialties such as General Medicine, Cardiology and Neurology. Senior doctors say demanding hours, burnout, delayed career stability and medico-legal pressures are pushing young doctors away from surgical branches.
The Health Ministry further said, "It has accordingly been decided, as a precautionary measure to postpone the NEET-PG Entrance Examination, scheduled to be held tomorrow i.e. 23rd June 2024", adding that the fresh date of this examination will be notified at the earliest.
