'Why not postpone NEET 2021?' Medical aspirants after JEE Advanced exam date announcement

Students are demanding postponement of the NEET 2021 after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced the JEE Advanced 2021 revised exam dates.

NEW DELHI: After the announcement of the revised JEE Advanced 2021 exam date, students are demanding postponement of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET 2021). As per the NEET 2021 exam date, the National Testing Agency will hold the medical entrance test on September 12 in offline mode. This year, the authorities have also made various changes in the NEET 2021 paper pattern.

As there is very little time for the NEET 2021 exam preparation, aspirants have requested authorities to provide them more time to comprehend the new paper pattern. Several students also expressed that the authorities are doing “injustice to NEET UG aspirants” on social media platforms.

Recently, students have taken to Twitter to demand the postponement of the NEET-UG 2021 exam using #PostponeNEETUGtoOCT #PostponeNEETUGSeptToOctober.

A NEET UG aspirant, Prajwal, tagging the education minister said, “If JEE advanced on October; Then why not NEET”
