Giving clarity about NEET 2021 dates, the NTA asked the aspiring candidates of NEET (UG) – 2021/parents/guardians and other stakeholders to not pay heed to such fake notices and be aware of such unauthorised/fake public notice circulated from unknown sources.

NEET-UG 2021: The National Testing Agency (NTA) on July 7, 2021, released an official notice informing NEET 2021 aspirants about the fake public notice with the subject line – “Conduct of National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (UG) – 2021” being circulated through various means, including social media. NTA has completely denied issuing any notice declaring the exam date of NEET 2021 to be September 5.

Giving clarity about NEET 2021 dates, the NTA asked the aspiring candidates of NEET (UG) – 2021/parents/guardians and other stakeholders to not pay heed to such fake notices and be aware of such unauthorised/fake public notice circulated from unknown sources. Candidates are also advised to rely only on the public Notice(s) /information/ dates announced by NTA through its official websites i.e. .nta.ac.in and ntaneet.nic.in only. The medical entrance exam is just a month away and NTA is yet to release NEET 2021 application form

It is likely that NEET 2021 has been postponed as the NTA has clearly stated that NEET 2021 dates will be decided considering the ongoing pandemic situtaion. The official notice reads, “The fake/unauthorised public notice has been viewed seriously by the NTA, as it is being circulated by some unscrupulous elements with a motive to misguide the aspiring candidates/parents/guardians/public at large. The NTA is still in consultation with the concerned stakeholders for finalising a suitable date for the conduct of NEET (UG) – 2021, keeping in view the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”

The Education Ministry on July 6, 2021, announced JEE Mains dates for April and May sessions 2021. According to the decision taken by the authority, JEE Mains 2021 April session will be conducted from July 20-25. The fourth and last session of JEE Main 2021 (May session) will be conducted from July 27-August 2. The registration window to submit JEE Mains 2021 application form has been reopened for candidates who could not apply for the exams earlier. Candidates can apply at jeemain.nta.nic.in.
