NEET UG 2022 Postponement: Over 10,000 MBBS aspirants urged the National Testing Agency (NTA) on Wednesday to postpone the medical entrance exam, claiming that the exam date is too close to other competitive exams. According to previous announcements, the crucial exam will be held on July 17 this year.
The medical aspirants stated in their letter to the NTA that the date for this year’s National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) has been announced, despite the fact that counselling for last year’s exam has not yet concluded.
They claimed that many NEET aspirants and droppers from 2021 waited until the mop-up round of NEET 2021 counselling in the hope of obtaining a medical seat but were unsuccessful. “The cleanup round concluded in the first week of April… “State counselling is still ongoing in many states,” they wrote in their letter.

Concerned, they stated that many students this year were unable to calculate their percentage of getting a seat due to the changed reservation policy in NEET 2021 counselling, and that three days later, on April 6, NTA announced that NEET 2022 will be held on July 17, 2022.
Last year’s NEET exam was originally scheduled for August 1, but it was pushed back to September 12 due to the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Also, CUET is scheduled for the first and second weeks of July, and the JEE mains second attempt is scheduled to begin on July 21, 2022.” “The gap between NEET on 17 July will be a significant burden for students,” they wrote in their letter.
