NEW DELHI: The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET-PG) 2022 results were declared on Wednesday, with Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya lauding the National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) for announcing them in record 10 days.

“NEET-PG result is out! I congratulate all the students who have qualified for NEET-PG with flying colours. I appreciate @NBEMS_INDIA for their commendable job of declaring the results in record 10 days, much ahead of the schedule. Check your result at https://natboard.edu.in,” tweeted Mandaviya. The counselling for the upcoming session is likely to begin by June 20, said people familiar with the matter in the Union health ministry.

This year the exam was held on May 21 amid protests as counselling for the earlier batch was unusually delayed — from August-september 2021 to May, 2022 — due to Covid pandemic.

As per the government data 1,82,318 candidates took the test across 849 examination centres this year.the all India topper scored 705 marks out of 800, according to the result-sheet made public by the board that conducted the examination.

“Now that the results have been declared so fast, we will try to work on the counselling schedule at the earliest, but it will still take at least 20 days before the counselling starts. ,” said a senior central government official, requesting anonymity.

In another development, the board acknowledged that two questions were faulty and marks have been awarded to all candidates for both the questions.

Individual score card can be downloaded from https:// nbe.edu.in on/ after June 8.
