The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Post Graduation (NEET PG) 2024, organized by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), was successfully held on Sunday, August 11. This significant examination saw a total of 2,16,136 candidates appearing across two shifts from 416 centers situated in 170 cities spread across 31 states in India.
Shift-wise Attendance and Technical Delays
In the first shift, out of the 1,14,276 registered candidates, 1,07,959 appeared for the exam, with 6,317 candidates remaining absent. NBEMS reported that due to technical issues, two examination centers experienced delays, with one center delayed by a maximum of one hour and 45 minutes, while three other centers had delays under 30 minutes.
The second shift saw 1,08,177 candidates attending out of the 1,14,264 registered, with 6,087 candidates absent. One examination venue encountered a technical delay of 55 minutes, and four other centers faced delays of less than 30 minutes.
Enhanced Security Measures and Monitoring
To ensure the seamless conduct of the NEET PG 2024, NBEMS implemented rigorous security measures. A central command center was established at the NBEMS office in Dwarka, with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and NBEMS teams closely monitoring the examination process. More than 1,950 independent appraisers and 300 flying squad members were deployed across the examination centers to oversee the conduct of the exam.
Additionally, eight regional command centers were set up to supervise the examination, and NBEMS took proactive measures to monitor social media to ensure that accurate information was disseminated to all stakeholders.
Normalization Procedure for Result Preparation
NBEMS also issued a notice detailing the normalization procedure for preparing the examination results. Each shift's results will be calculated based on raw scores and percentages, with percentiles (up to seven decimal places) being used for the total score. In cases of ties, the resolution will follow the scheme outlined in the examination prospectus, with the candidate older by age being ranked higher in tie situations if not specified otherwise in the prospectus.
The robust security arrangements and careful coordination among various agencies ensured that the NEET PG 2024 was conducted smoothly, maintaining the integrity and sanctity of this high-stakes examination.
