We can see a major trend under the hashtag. Students who wish to appear for JEE and NEET 2021 have been pushing for exams in May or June.Β Many students further request to postpone the board exams 2021 till May or June. The major concern here is the lack of classroom teaching this academic year. They have also said that they at least need 2 months of classroom teaching to give the board exams. A look at this tweet and its replies shows the ground reality.
