NEET PG Exam 2024: The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has requested district administrations to ensure the smooth conduct of the NEET PG 2024 on August 11, in order to maintain the exam's integrity and sanctity.

However, the All FMGs Association (AFA), a body of foreign medical graduates, shared the letter on 'X' on August 3 and said, "It appears that a confidential letter from NBEMS has been leaked in public, containing information about the exam shift and the number of students taking the exam."

"If a confidential letter can be leaked, can we be confident about the security of the NEET PG paper?" it posed.

According to the PTI reports, official sources clarified that the letter contained general instructions and needless hype is being created by alleging that it has been leaked. The August 1 letter from NBEMS President Dr Abhijat Sheth stated the importance of conducting the examination securely and without interruption due to its significant impact on the academic and professional futures of many medical students.

In the letter, Sheth requested support for the smooth conduct of this high-stakes examination, which is of national importance and will now be administered by NBEMS across India for 2,28,542 candidates at 376 examination centers in 169 cities.

He emphasised the importance of maintaining a continuous power supply at all examination centers throughout the exam. This is crucial for keeping electronic systems and lighting operational and for preventing disruptions that could negatively impact candidates' performance and the overall examination process, as stated in the letter.

Sheth also said, "Though the examination is conducted on computers connected over a LAN with no Internet connectivity at examination centres during the conduct of examination, the availability of the Internet is essential to download the encrypted question papers at all examination centres before the start of the examination and to upload the candidate response and other exam related data to central data centres after the conduct of the examination."

"Your support is solicited in ensuring this minimal availability of internet connectivity at all examination centres," he stated in the letter to the district magistrates.

He also requested assistance from district administrations in maintaining law and order around the examination centers. Due to the high stakes involved, it is essential to deploy sufficient security personnel to manage crowds, control traffic, and prevent any incidents, as outlined in the letter.
