After the Centre announced the delay of the NEET-PG 2024 examination set for Sunday, various student bodies and doctor's groups expressed their dissatisfaction with the move, claiming that the country's education system had been "destroyed." They also sought a high-level investigation of the agency in charge of organising the NEET-UG and NEET-PG exams.
