MBBS aspirants demand postponement of NEET- Education News
A plethora of MBBS aspirants have demanded the postponement of medical entrance exam NEET scheduled on July 17, stating that it is “too close” to other competitive exams, giving them limited time to prepare.
Hashtag ‘PostponeNEETUG’ has been trending on Twitter and the aspirants have also started an online petition which has been signed by over 24,000 students. In their petition, they said the counselling of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test NEET (Undergraduate)-UG 2021 ended just in March, and the 2022 edition is scheduled on July 17.
“How are we to revise such a vast syllabus in just 3 months? Moreover, other important exams like the Board Exams, CUCET, JEE Mains are also scheduled around the same time. Imagine the trauma and pressure we students are having to go through with all these significant exams scheduled one after the other. Is this a fair decision?” the petition demanded. The last year’s exam was initially scheduled for August 1 but was postponed to September 12 due to the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Wednesday announced that the debut edition of CUET-UG will be conducted from July 15 to August 10.
