Postpone NEET 2021: Students have asked the National Testing Agency (NTA), the Education Ministry, and Dharmendra Pradhan, the Union Education Minister, to postpone NEET 2021. Most of them have said they will sit for different exams in September and it is not possible for them to prepare for those together, as each exam has a different pattern. NEET 2021 is scheduled for September 12, in between CBSE Class 12 optional exams and a day after NEET, on Monday, the Mathematics paper will be conducted.

“Respected sir @dpradhanbjp, we can't manage many exams at a time. So Please postpone NEET at least By 20 days. If JEE Advanced can be conducted in October then Why NOT NEET?” asked a student.

Despite many students protesting, it is unlikely that the Education Ministry will postpone the exam again. The exam has already been postponed once.
The National Testing Agency has closed the registration window and application form correction window. Admit cards will be issued on September 9, three days ahead of the exam.
The NTA has introduced some changes in the NEET exam, which include internal choice in each section. Another change introduced this year is the addition of BSc Nursing and Life Sciences programmes. Apart from MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, BVSc and AH courses, NEET will also be used as an eligibility test for the two BSc programmes.
