As a precursor to the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) north of 10,000 MBBS applicants have kept in touch with the National Testing Agency (NTA) requesting that the undergrad test be delayed. The to-be MBBS students are setting these expectations as they guarantee that the planned date of NEET is near other competitive exams. The medical test is scheduled for July 17 this year. Several other students took to Twitter raising similar requests.
The major concern raised by students is that while the date for this year’s NEET has been declared, last years counselling is still ongoing. Several droppers and NEET 2021 students were waiting till the end of the last rounds of counselling (“Mop Up Rounds”) to secure a seat but were unable to. Additional changes in the exam guidelines related to reservation policies (in NEET 2021) have also impacted students.
Students are raising concerns that they may not get enough time to prepare for the exam and may not be able to sit for it and are strongly demanding that the exam be postponed. The clash with CUET (in the first two weeks of July) is also posing a huge problem for aspirants
A number of twitter movements have started supporting the cause
While the official date has not been postponed, the NTA has shifted
the application date twice already. Another change this year is that there will
not be any upper age limit for nursing courses and the NEET exam will be
considered for its admission
