NEET & CUET EXAM DATES CLASH: STUDENTS IN PANIC AND DEMAND POSTPONING THE EXAM

Growing tensions in the student community related to the NEET UG 2022 exam dates are arising. In a latest the online movement related to postponing the exam has gained more traction with thousands of students raising their voice against authorities for scheduling the exam during CUET exam dates (the NEET UG 2022 is scheduled on 17^th July 2022 which coincides with CUET UG 2022 dates which are scheduled between July 16^th & August 10^th). The exams proximity with the JEE Mains 2022 and the CBSE 12^th boards is also a point of concern.

Several student and parent bodies have already written to the education ministry, PMO office, NTA and various other authorities demanding that the exam should be postpone. There have also been several fake notices which have been circulating across social media claiming that the NEET exam has been postponed (this information is not true and has been confirmed by the Press Information Bureau of India).

Several parents have started voicing their concerns that there is tremendous pressure on students this year due to heightened competition and overlap with other exams. Given that the session will only begin next year there is increasing pressure to shift the exam by 35-40 days.

Despite all the noise, we feel that the exam will be held on the pre-scheduled dates (17^th July). Aspirants should continue preparing and assume that there will be no shift in the exam dates.
