A fake circular under the name of the National Board of Examinations (NBE) is going viral on various social media platforms claiming that NEET-PG 2022 examination has been postponed.
“The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Govt of India vide its letter no. V.11025/215/2020-MEP(FTS-8079808) dated 10.01.2022 has directed that in light of the present situation of COVID-19 pandemic and taking into account of safety and well-being of the students, the conduct of NEET-PG 2022 examination scheduled to be held on 12th of March 2022 be postponed,” the fake circular read.
However, when Press Information Bureau (PIB) conducted a fact check on this report, it found out that no such announcement has been made by the NBE as yet.
Debunking the fake news, Press Information Bureau, the govt’s fact-checking arm said, “A public notice purportedly issued by the National Board of Examinations claims that the NEET-PG 2022 examination scheduled to be held on 12th March 2022 has been postponed. The claim is fake”.
