New Delhi: With various state governments strictly enforcing lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19, board exams and entrance exam schedules have taken a hit. While the central government has already announced that the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE), which was slated for April, will be postponed, there is no decision on National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) as of now.
The NEET is to take place on 3 May and as of 24 March, the schedule has not been changed. The National Testing Agency (NTA), which is the nodal agency for conducting these exams, is supposed to release admit cards on its official website by 27 March.
Vineet Joshi, chairman, NTA, said there is no decision on postponing the exam as of now and the agency is monitoring the situation. “We are constantly monitoring the situation and coordinating with all other agencies,” he told ThePrint.
According to official NTA data, 15.93 lakh students have registered for NEET this year. The examination is for medical colleges in the country and its results will be declared in June.
Sources in the Ministry of Human Resources Development said the government is monitoring the situation closely and will take a call on all academic activities such as school sessions and exam dates after 31 March.
“The situation is being closely monitored by states and central government and a decision will be taken post 31 March after reviewing the effect of restrictions,” said a senior ministry official, who did not wish to be named.
“Whether it is about the academic session, or school summer vacations, all such points are being discussed within the ministry but a decision will be taken in coordination with all the stakeholders involved.”
JEE dates won’t clash with CBSE exams
For JEE, another NTA official said the agency will try to make sure that the dates of the entrance exam do not coincide with the CBSE board exams, since both have been postponed.
“We are working along with CBSE and will try to make sure that the JEE dates do not coincide with any of the board exams, because a lot of students would be appearing for both,” said the NTA official.
Nearly nine lakh students will appear for the JEE this year, which is a gateway for admission to all engineering colleges in India. Once candidates clear JEE-Mains, they qualify for JEE-Advanced, which is for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).

Plzz postponed the neet because we all students facing various problems so please postponed it please
please NTA postpone the NEET 2020 EXAM as it will be very problematic and dangerous for the students of 16laks number to gather together for thee exam.
Even after these 21 days precautions should be taken by the people to avoid coming out ogmf home .
It is a humble request by every NEET ASPIRANT to postpone NEET 2020 which is going to be held on May 3 .
NTA IT IS HUMBLE REQUEST FROM EACH AND EVERY NEET 2020 ASPIRANT THAT THE EXAM SHOULD BE POSTPONED DUE TO THE OUTBREAK OF DEADLY CORONA VIRUS .
STUDENTS ARE UNABLE TO CONCENTRATE AND MOREOVER ALL THE COACHING INSTITUTES ARE CLOSED WHICH HELP THE STUDENTS TO COMPLETE THEIR SYLLABUS AND MAKE THEM READY FOR EXAMINATION.
AS THIS DISEASE SPREADS BY SOCIAL CONTACT SO IT WOULD BE VERY RISKY FOR THE INDIA’S TEENAGERS AS THEY MAKE INDIA’S FUTURE. IT WOULD NOT BE A GOOD IDEA BY NTA TO ALLOW THE GATHERING OF 16 LAKH STUDENTS AT THE SAME TIME.
IT IS REALLY A SERIOUS MATTER .
I REQUEST THE NATIONAL TEST AGENCY TO KINDLY POSTPONE NEET 2020 EXAM FOR THE SAKE OF INDIA’S FUTURE.

Sir please postponed the neet exam because of lockdown students are facing lots of problem regarding studies and much more things sir we all request you for this
With the situation at hand, the situation developing, lessons from China, Italy, South Korea, it is obvious that NEET should be postponed until the first week of JULY. It is crucial, vital, essential and absolutely necessary. Anything else would most probably result in grave consequences, for all parties involved.
I’m already a dropper. I wanna get over with neet. But I’m not able to concentrate due to current situation. I hope that right decision is taken
Plz post phone the neet exam
Till the danger of corana

NEET exam should b postponed because the aspirants who where interested in crash Course didn’t completed there syllabus yet.HRD ministry must concern on it.
Hello, I am Diplim pathak from Assam.
A neet aspirant indeed. The lockdown and mental pressure is making it almost impossible to concentrate and study and give our best.
There is constant panic about covid 19 in my head too.
Hope NTA will take the right decision (i really hope it will be postponed)
Yet whatever the descision is please inform us quickly. This dilemma is very depressing.
I just don’t understand why NTA is doing this with us? We are requesting….. No we are begging to postpone Neet 2020. It has been really difficult for us. I’ll talk about myself I am from MP and my coaching is closed from 14th March and I am not been able to attend classes since then. We had to complete our chemistry syllabus which is incomplete now too. We were to have revision classes which we now can’t attend till 15th April. We had to practise practise paper which we can’t….. Please please I beg you to please postpone neet 2020
Neet 2020 should be post poned by at least 21 days.
I am a student in Jaipur, was about to depart for Lucknow on 23 march.
But due to sudden lockdown in here, and further in the whole nation, I am stuck here in the city. The problem being, I have much of my study material there in Lucknow at my relative’s home.
Becoming a doctor is my biggest dream. I am facing the worst situation of my life ever, I feel so helpless.
Also a friend of mine who is a dropper was waiting for a whole 1 year for a 50 day crash course before NEET and was confident to
carck the exam after his 1 year preparation, the course and all his doubt discussions with teachers, but now all in vain. He is so depressed.
I hope the government will be sensible enough to understand the whole different kinds of problems which almost all the students are facing right now.
The toppers may not face much difficulty but the majority are the mediocres who are for sure feeling stucked.

sir we are suffering a lot….we need few time for the preparation…..I request you to postponed the date……!!!
Please postpone the neet 2020

Since, the Neet is National exam. All the people all over the India whether they are rich or poor should get equal opportunity. but What about people in the slum area in mumbai they don’t even have the proper house attached with Toilet. How can they isolate themselves. Afraid of corona virus in their daily lives. How will they concentrate on their studies…………
Plz postpone Neet examination since we are not being able to prepare for it since all the courses have been shutdown till 15th april 2020. Plz understand our situation, plz postpone the examination s plz…..
Don’t postponed neet jaldise paper haat mein pakdado aur kitna intajar karoge!
Abeyyy postpone kar lona. Iss saal ka pura cancel kardo. Bacche pareshan hai. Aap logo ko Kya problem ho rahi hai? Samajhte nahi ho kya raees gharo ke aulaad? Ghar ka ration nahi mil raha aur padhai kaise kare apun log? Ooo bhai maro mujjhe maro. #Sab yaad rakha jayega, sab kuch yaad rakha jayega. Writing the exam would be disrespectful to the souls of the departed. Coaching centre jaane ka ab 1 mahina hone ko aaya hai. Tum log samajhte kyo nahi ? Apun ko gussa bahut aayela hai. Please ffs postpone kardo.

Considering the present lockdown until mid April 2020 and a situation may arise for the government to take a call post mid April 2020 as well to extend the lock down considering the pandemic situation, it is highly appreciable if NTA comes up with some clarity if possible today to address the anxiety of the aspiring students who are preparing for NEET almost more than 2 years. Please provide them clarity asap.
