Postpone NEET UG 2023: Even as the registration for the medical exam is over, the demand for a month’s postponement of the NEET UG 2023 grew louder on Twitter with several aspirants requesting the National Testing Agency (NTA) to defer the exam in light of an increase in COVID-19 cases.
Taking to Twitter, several students cited five main reasons as to why NTA should postpone NEET UG 2023. While one student said they have less time for preparation for the exam, other students said the exam should be postponed due to the increase in COVID cases.
Last week, the NEET aspirants took to Twitter and urged PM Modi and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to postpone NEET UG exam for a month.
The development comes at a time when the NEET UG 2023 is scheduled to be held on May 7 and a total of 20.87 lakh candidates have registered including 11.8 lakh female candidates and 9.02 lakh males.
The NTA will soon release the NEET UG 2023 admit card on its website – neet.nta.nic.in. Recently, the National Testing Agency also reopened the application window and closed on April 15.
