After months of protest, the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test postgraduate (NEET-PG) 2022 was administered today, May 21. According to some students on social media, the exam was easy for those who prepared, while for others it took a long time. While some students felt they could have revised more, others said the questions were standard and a lot of time was lost in the ‘fiasco’, which could have been used for revision.
The exam took place in a single shift from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm. The exam was held amid protests from students for postponing it. The Supreme Court had rejected a group of doctors’ plea to postpone the postgraduate medical entrance exam. A large proportion of medical aspirants had launched multiple protests in the past month citing ‘justice for doctors’ on social media that had the support of many people, including politicians and student organizations.
“A simple exam, but there were some tricky questions,” says Dr. Aseem Dewan, Director (PG Division), Aakash+BYJU’S. He added: “As expected, there were several questions about contraception. A few questions about an ectopic pregnancy. 75 image-based questions, but about 30 of them didn’t really need an image. Tricky question about inhaled foreign body – flexible bronchoscopy is risky in a hypoxemic patient and foreign body removal is easier with rigid bronchoscopy. Less air supply was the answer.”
“Lots of questions about clinical scenarios, many of which were completely irrelevant. For example, the 4-line description of the case of cholera, to turn around and ask the receptor for the toxin. Clear facts from molecular biology and biochemistry. Surgery was a simple, exploratory laparotomy for perforation peritonitis and stab wound, intussception,” he added.
I think the exam was easy ♂️ we just wasted many days in this fiasco even a good review of notes would change the game but this fiasco extends to the end of the day and now even after the exam #NEETPG2022

In short, I was under the impression that “I could have reviewed more”.
And I know exactly how I will feel, even before the exams.
The fault lies with meeeeeeeee!#neetpg2022
