The National Board of Examinations (NBE) had previously extended the March 31 internship deadline to June 30 following several requests from NEET PG aspirants. This decision was taken as a large group of students were ineligible to appear for the exam. In the meantime, the NBE announced that they will hold the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for the postgraduate exam on March 5.
