The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for postgraduate (NEET-PG) courses, applicable for admission to 20,000 PG medical seats in 350 medical colleges, is being held between November 23 and December 6 this year.
The first computer-based NEET-PG test, being conducted by National Board of Examinations (NBE), will be held at selected test centres across 33 cities.
The rush witnessed on the first day of opening of online registration brought about technical glitches as candidates complained of not being able to log on to the website.
While candidates complained of the website 'crashing' for a few hours during registration yesterday, NBE officials claimed there was no crash of their website.
"Some users may have experienced problem as candidates across the country tried to login at the same time...There were also 120 attempts to hack the website and we had to activate many fireballs," NBE director Bipin Batra told PTI.
Denying any website crash, Prometric, which was appointed by NBE early this year to conduct the computer-based NEET-PG, said glitches could have taken place due to the heavy rush. (more)
