NEET PG 2017 (Dec) won’t be conducted by Prometric. Single Day exam likely ?
The US-based company Prometric Testings that until now conducted the National Eligibility and Entrance Test Post Graduate (NEET-PG) has said it will not be conducting the winter exam in 2017. The National Board of Examinations (NBE) and Prometric have mutually agreed to part ways, the company said in a statement on Friday. The NBE will now look for a new partner to conduct the November-December examination for the NEET-PG.
The November-December exam would have been the last administration in its partnership. However, following students demand for single-day testing the contract ended, it said. “We are extremely disappointed to not be administering the winter NEET-PG administration under the circumstances,” said Soumitra Roy, Managing Director, Prometric India. “We will continue to support NBE in a smooth transition of its programme in the best interests of students and test takers,” the company added.
Will the exam be single day with new partner ?
From 2009-13 Prometric was conducting the IIM / other MBA entrance test CAT as multi day exam. However from 2014 the responsibility was taken over by TCS (Tata Consultancy Service) and since then the CAT is now a single day exam. Do note CAT is written by much large number of students than NEET PG. So there is a strong chance that if the new partner is someone like TCS, there might be a single day exam.
