The only beneficiaries of a delayed NEET/JEE exam will be coaching mafias and private colleges who charge exorbitant fees for a seat. Not the students.
Karnataka is first state to announce reopening of colleges. Higher Education Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan says govt may consider no-holiday academic year to complete syllabi.
Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ cited Japan, Germany and Israel as examples to underline his argument that learning in one’s mother tongue doesn’t come in the way of development.
The opposition has demanded NEET and JEE be deferred due to Covid and floods, even as Centre has said they will be held as per schedule with due precautions.
IIT Delhi director V. Ramgopal Rao assures students that preparations have been made for their safety amid Covid-19 pandemic, other IIT directors concur.
Students highlight issues from having asthma or sinusitis and having to breathe through a mask, to loss of confidence because preparations have been affected.
Here is a serious lesson on not to underestimate the power of the young generation, who see the future better than older cohorts. They are frustrated with the ruling class that failed Nepal after 1990 and again after the 2006 mass movement.

In its toughest time in decades because of floods, Punjab would’ve expected PM Modi to visit. If he has the time for a Bihar tour, why not a short visit to next-door Punjab?
Very sensible thoughts of the writer. There never is a “good time” for exams. In May June — “heat wave”, in winter months “cold wave”. Now floods — as if first time country experiencing floods.
Yeah, postpone “a bit” — by few months. As if situation will become “normal” by then. What guarantee is there? In fact we could be staring at several lakhs of new cases in a few months time.
Lol the writer of this shitty post us also from NTA god will decide the fate of these people who put the life of children en in peril
Dr. Nishank said we will have a loss of 4800 crore but at the same time a plane of 8400 crore is coming for PM personal travel. I am suprised by the priorities set by this BJP government
We have far too many engineering colleges in our country. Our nation is already not able to absorb so many engineers.
Many engineers who have passed out this year will not have jobs in hand nor will they be able to join work even if they got selected in campus because of prevailing Covid situation and the bad condition of the economy.
The only people who benefit from starting academic courses soon are the colleges or universities because they need student fees to sustain their institutions. Faculty and administration of institutions have to be paid.
Even if the exams are held, I doubt if even government institutions like NIT or IIT will reduce their fees. IIT charges hefty fee of 2 lakhs per year. Many parents in private sector are losing jobs or their businesses are facing tough times.
1. No one is asking for cancellation. Just a postponement of a month or two so that the flood situation subsides and proper arrangements for safe transport and accommodation of students can be made.
2. Even if 99% of students have been given their first choice of centre, people need to understand that in many many cases even those first choices are hundreds of kilometres away from the village/town in which the students are living. Case in point: Bihar. Not everyone can afford private cars which are normally expensive and on certain days of examinations they increase the fare even more. Plus, traveling in public transport, staying in a hotel (provided there is one available, many have been converted to isolation wards) even if it opens up, is too much to ask from the students when the government officials are still locked up in their homes.
3. NTA did increase the examination centres, but not the examination cities/towns, which is the real problem. So if a student who lives in a fast flung village in Bihar had to travel 200km to reach Patna for his exam when there were less Number of examination centres before, now, after it has been increased, he still had to travel the same distance. In short, increasing the examination centre will definitely help with the crowding, but it does nothing to help students from far flung areas
4. Asking students to sit through 3 hours of exams wearing masks and solving delicate numericals involving complex calculations and speed and accuracy, while wearing gloves!!! This is madness. I urge everyone here supporting this to please try doing this for just half an hour and you’ll know what I am talking about. This is not how a 16-17 year old should be giving exams, these are kids.
5. There will be no academic loss even if the exams are held in November and new session starts in January. There’s plenty of room for adjustments to make up for the lost 4 months over the course of next 4-5 years of MBBS or Btech course. This is an absolutely false narrative being fed into the minds of the common public to create a wrong image of the situation. As it is, an academic session consists of hardly 200 working days with just 20 working days per month. The lost 4 months (new MBBS session usually starts in September) amount to no more than 80 working days which can be easily made up for through various means such as shorter vacations, extra classes, weekend classes, doing away with co curriculars for a year or two, and so on.
THERE WILL BE NO ZERO YEAR. THE NATION WILL NOT FACE ANY MORE SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS THAN IT ALREADY FACES
THIS GUY DONT KNOW GROUND REALITY OF HOSPITAL BILLS. ITS REALLY HUGE. SHIFT TO JAN DEC FORMAT TO ADJUST THIS BATCH AND NORMALISE IT OVER NET TWO YEARS.
What is this shit!! I am a Jee aspirant and we dont want to cancel jee exam. We just want to postpone it for a short period of time thats all. As the current SOP is not upto the mark and also many regions are suffering from flood .
Peace✌️
“The only beneficiaries of a delayed NEET/JEE exam will be coaching mafias and private colleges who charge exorbitant fees for a seat.”
Coaching mafias are the ones who are getting benefited by the happening of examinations……cuz they will get to admit new students….get some brains writer. In fact Naveen Maheshwari (Allen founder) gave money and pressurized centre to conduct examinations, Get your facts clear and then call yourself a journalist…LMAO
Getting the 1st choice of centre doesn’t necessarily mean that the exam centre is close by. Many students have their 1st choice of desired exam centre very far away.
There are flood situations in Bihar and some other states. How do you expect them to come and give exams. There will be many students who have studied hard for years but are unable to give exams bcoz of transport issues. I am thankful that I can afford private vehicles but there are large no. Of students who can’t.
This is not just about the students its about their family as well. My dad is diabetic and a heart patient. He will be dropping me to the exam centre, I am very scared what would happen if he contracted corona virus. Even if 1 student is covid +ve, it will be disastrous. 2% might look small but if you take 25 lakh students and their parents then this 2% will be a huge no.
We are not asking to cancel the exams we only ask for a 1-2 month delay. I agree corona isn’t going anywhere, we have to move on in life. But in the 2 month’s time, transportation will improve, especially in flood affected states. So that every child gets an equal and just opportunity to compete in exam.
Coaching mafias will benefit if exams are taken so that they can get rid of old students and admit new ones so that their institutions keep running.
Just bcoz we downloaded admit cards doesn’t mean we agree on giving exams. If the exam is not postponed we have to prepare for the worst.
SOPs may work, but here we are talking about 25 lakh students as well as the parents who will accompany them to the exam centre, all of which is not a joke. Who will take responsibility of such a large no. Of lives?
Time is already wasted, 1 sem has given ne by. But if we shorten the admission process we can still cover up the curriculum in a 5 year long course. Zero academic year will not happen.
Career of students and the future of a nation can’t be put into jeopardy, yes, but not at the cost of their lives.
I am no expert. I apologise for such a long reply. But I had to put my views out there. I do not mean any disrespect sir. You and other educational experts are far more knowledgeable than a 19 year old kid. But I do have the right to share my thoughts and feelings. Especially as a student will have to go through all of this.
Thank You.
Getting the first choice of centre doesn’t necessarily mean the exam centre is close by. Many students have their desired first choice of exam centre which is very far. Talking about myself I got my exam centre 25 km away which is fine for me but some of my friends have it 100 km or more than that. There are many such students whose 1st choice is still very far.
Second thing the floods of Bihar, Assam, and some other places is making transport very difficult for the local students even for other states bcoz of covid-19 lockdown there are some restrictions. I can afford a private vehicle but there are large no. Of students who can’t.
Third thing we are not asking the gov to cancel our exams, a 1-2 months delay is all we ask. Yes corona is not going anywhere but atleast the transportation would be acceptable till then especially for states facing flood situation.
Fourth thing, who will take the responsibility if students get corona. It isn’t just about them but also about their family. My dad is diabetic and a heart patient, but bcoz there are no bus routes to my exam centre he will drop me there himself. I’m so worried that he might contract the virus. Even if 1 student is covid +ve it will be disastrous.
You said the coaching mafias would benefit from exam postpone, but in reality they will benefit if the exams are done with. Their institutions are closed since lockdown, they need new batch of students to keep their classes running. So they don’t care about lives of lakhs of students, they just want their money.
Downloading admit card doesn’t mean you want to give exams, this shouldn’t be a parameter to judge. Students downloaded them bcoz they wanted to see their exam centres, they had no choice bcoz if the gov doesn’t postpone exams then they will have to prepare for the worst.
Time is already wasted, one semester is already gone, 2 months will not put a big dent. We can cover it in a 5 year long course. Anyways the academic year will commence from January, so it would be ideal if the admission process is shortened to cover up the time.
Sorry for such a long reply, but I had to put my views in front of you. You and the other educational experts are far more knowledgeable than a 19 year old kid. I do not mean any disrespect. You know what is best for us, I only wanted to share my thoughts and feelings with you as a student who actually has to go through all of this.
Thank You.
Bhai seedha seedha baata kitna mila… Because Every Engineering and Medical Aspirants Know their Career better than a paid journalist right? Also, no one asked to cancel this year we asked to Postpone till situation becomes a bit normal. And also, if this year exam Postponed 1 year, next year batch also will be delayed 1 year then How The Competition Is Double? Answer this!?
Most people.got their first choice center but the thing is many states have very limited district which have exam centre. First choice isn’t the nearest. There should be at least 1-2 center in each district to minimise movement of people. Please consider these facts before publishing such articles. Try and cover how other exam were conducted in the pandemic. Compare on paper sop and practicality.
Abey lodu, 5th year ,4th year, 3rd year vale jo humse pehle graduate honge unka kya aisa saal jisme koi new doctor nhi aayega voh toh 4-5 saal bad aayega
The move for examination is opposed by the dynasts and anti-Modi political parties . They want to indulge into dirty politking even after The Honorable Supreme Court has given life Mantra “Life has to GO ON ” . Who is going to lose if exams are not conducted ?? The youth of India , india as a whole will be loser . Exams for admission to higher institutions of knowledge should be conducted irrespective of the Anti- youth agenda of dirty politicians. Youth of India need to observe the heinous agenda of dynasts masquendering as youth ikons. Always be ready to face the life as it COMES ON. WISH YOUTH OF INDIA HAPPY FUTURE AND HAPPY CAREERS.
To the writer ,
Anyone giving views in support of holding exams during peak pandemic,
You know what is more valuable than one year of life , the whole damn life of that person.
You guys are treating lives of normal children like casuality of wars , like they are expendable.
These are preventable casualties.
Get your priorities right.
No media is asking why india CFR is increasing, where the government mishandling took place.

Yeah, postpone “a bit” — by few months. As if situation will become “normal” by then. What guarantee is there? In fact we could be staring at several lakhs of new cases in a few months time.
So, candidates study hard for your exams!

Yeah, like every engineering graduate ever is an actual “engineer” ??
We have far too many engineering colleges in our country. Our nation is already not able to absorb so many engineers.

There is no guarantee Covid will be gone August next year or you can get vaccine
Nothing will happen to india

Exam. SC order is final
A year with a deadlist engineer and doctor’s and his family.jussst open the eyes and see what is going around
Abey lodu, 5th year ,4th year, 3rd year vale jo humse pehle graduate honge unka kya aisa saal jisme koi new doctor nhi aayega voh toh 4-5 saal bad aayega
Add this too if you like
They can reduce the size of any one of the 8 semesters in engineering courses
