Digvijaya Singh Seeks NEET PG City Choice Restoration
Digvijaya Singh urges the Centre to restore city-wise exam centre selection for NEET PG-2026 candidates.
New Delhi/Bhopal, July 18 (IANS) Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh has urged the Centre to allow NEET PG‑2026 candidates to choose their preferred examination cities instead of only selecting states while filling the application form.
In a letter to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Singh said the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has changed the examination centre selection process this year by allowing candidates to choose only three preferred states. In previous years, candidates were allowed to select their preferred cities.
He said many students and their parents have approached him with concerns over the new system, saying it could lead to examination centres being allotted far from their homes. Singh noted that if a candidate is allotted a centre hundreds of kilometres away from his or her residence, it will increase travel, accommodation and other expenses besides causing mental stress.
