SRINAGAR, Nov 7: Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) today urged Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to intervene for setting up a National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) centre for postgraduate (PG) medical courses in Kashmir.
The DAK president, Dr Nisar-ul-Hassan, appealed Chief Minister to prevail upon the concerned authorities to establish a NEET-PG centre in Kashmir.
Though Kashmir has infrastructure and facilities to conduct this online examination, yet it has not been provided a centre, said Dr Nisar, adding that this would not only jeopardize the career of candidates but would mean depriving people of Kashmir the services of specialist doctors.
“While for majority in Kashmir there is no centre, but Jammu has been given one, which clearly shows a regional bias. National Board for Examination is conducting an online common entrance test for various PG medical courses from this year which is being held from December 5 to 13,” he said, adding that for this test, 86 examination centers have been established in 41 cities across the country, ‘but to our utter dismay Kashmir has been left out’.
