'Postpone NEET UG 2022,' demand students as JEE Main, CBSE dates are close

NEW DELHI: Early this month, the National Testing Agency (NTA) announced the date for the 2022 National Entrance cum Eligibility Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2022.

The official NEET exam date for 2022 is July 17. Many students have raised their concerns on Twitter, calling for the NEET UG 2022 exam to be postponed as there are only a few months left for preparation, including revision.

The NTA NEET 2022 on July 17 creates inconvenience for many students who want to prepare for both NEET and JEE. Since the CBSE mathematics paper will take place on June 07 and the CBSE board exam will conclude on June 13, there will be hardly any time left to prepare for NEET 2022. In the past, NEET-UG exams were always conducted 45 to 50 days after the CBSE examinations.

The NEET and JEE have also previously been conducted within a week gap, which is not the case this year since the JEE advanced 2022 is on August 28 after rescheduling. In addition to the JEE and CBSE exams, there are also the CUET exams, which take place between the first and second week of July, and preparing for all three exams simultaneously is not easy.

Students have also brought to light the past trends of gaps between the dates of both NEET and JEE exams and approached the NTA authority stating NEET-UG & JEE (Advanced) are always conducted every year with a gap of one week. Now JEE (Advanced) is on August 28, then why NEET UG on July 17? Why so much partiality? “

NEET UG & JEE (Advanced) is always conducted every year with a gap of one week.

Now JEE (Advanced) is on 28th August then why NEET UG on 17th July ?
