NEET 2022 aspirants demand exam postponement

NEET UG 2022 exam is scheduled to be held on July 17, 2022. The aspirants want the examination to be postponed. They have written to the President, National Testing Agency (NTA), and the ministry of education to demand the postponement of NEET 2022 as the schedule is clashing with other exams like CUET, JEE, EAMCET.

Moreover, as the NEET Counselling 2021 was completed in the first week of April and state counselling for BAMS and BDS is still happening in some states, aspirants feel there is less time between NEET Counselling 2021 and NEET 2022.
