NEET UG 2022 deferment demand getting louder

Advocate Anubha Shrivastav Sahai for India Wide Parents Association has written to PM Modi and urged him to postpone the examination.

The main reason for this demand as per the letter is the less time for preparation as the state counselling concluded a few days ago and board exams are also going on. The letter highlighted that despite lakhs of students having raised their voices on Twitter and students having sent letters to the Education Minister, NTA has not responded so far. Hence, the aspirants have urged PM Modi to intervene and postpone the exam by a minimum of 40 to 45 days in the interest of NEET UG 2022 aspirants.
