SRINAGAR: With no National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) centre in Kashmir for postgraduate (PG) medical courses, Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) on Tuesday said that this decision has left aspirants in the lurch.
President DAK Dr Nisar ul Hassan in a statement said that lack of NEET centre would jeopardize the future of thousands of aspiring doctors.
National Board of Examinations (NBE) will be conducting NEET for admission to various PG courses for the academic session 2017 from December 5 to 13.
While 86 centres in 41 cities across the country have been set up, Kashmir has been left out, he said.
Calling huge number of doctors outside for the test would collapse the healthcare delivery system, he said adding that this would disrupt the functioning of hospitals and affect patient care.
