Postpone NEET UG 2022: In the letter to the NTA, the medical aspirants said many of them and other droppers from 2021 waited till the mop-up round of NEET 2021 counselling in the hope of getting a medical seat but didn't get one.
Saying that the exam date is too close to other competitive exams, over 10,000 MBBS aspirants on Wednesday in a letter urged the National Testing Agency (NTA) postpone the medical entrance exam. As per the earlier notification, the crucial exam is scheduled to be held on July 17 this year.
The medical aspirants in the letter to the NTA said the date for this year's National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) has been announced, even though the counselling for last year's exam hasn't finished yet.
They said that many NEET aspirants and droppers from 2021 waited till the mop-up round of NEET 2021 counselling in the hope of getting a medical seat but didn't get one. "The mop up round ended in the first week of April... in many states, state counselling is not finished till now," they mentioned in the letter.
NEET exam last year was initially scheduled for August 1 but was postponed to September 12 due to the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Also, CUET is scheduled for 1st and 2nd weeks of July and JEE mains second attempt is scheduled from 21 July 2022. In between NEET on 17 July will be a great burden for students," they said in the letter.
