The NBE has notified that the NEET MDS 2022 examination will be conducted on May 2, 2022 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. As a result of which the application window will also be reopened from 3 PM on March 21, for candidates vying to appear for the exam.

Earlier, the NEET MDS 2022 exam was scheduled to be held on March 6, however it was postponed after the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare directed to extend the date of the exam by four to six weeks. 

The exam dates were postponed because the date of completion of the compulsory rotating internships which is a part of the eligibility criteria for admissions to MDS Courses has also been deferred to July 31, instead of previously mandated March 31, 2022.

Now, to enable aspiring candidates to apply for NEET-MDS 2022 keeping in mind the revised cut-off date for internship completion (i.e. 31st July 2022), the online application window for submission of applications for NEET-MDS 2022 which was closed on Jan 24 will be reopened.
