NEET PG 2021 Exam Day Guidelines
COVID-19 Travel Pass: To make it easier for students to travel around on exam day, the NBE will issue each candidate a COVID e-pass, which will be given to them along with their hall ticket. Candidates would be required to carry a hard copy of both the documents with a valid Id proof on the exam day.
Thermal Scanning: Candidates who have to appear for the NEET 2021 PG exam will have to go through the thermal scanning process before entering the exam centre. The candidates with a temperature above average or COVID symptoms will be allowed to take the exam in an isolation lab.
COVID Safety Guard: While entering the NEET PG exam centre, each applicant will be given a COVID-19 protective gear safety kit. The kit will consist of a face mask, a face protector, and five sanitiser sachets that will be included in the safety package.
The NBE will conduct the entrance examination as Social Distanced - Computer Based Test (SD-CBT). The examination will be conducted in a safe and secure environment maintaining social distancing norms wherever needed.
