Students are very eagerly waiting for the medical entrance - NEET 2021 dates. Last we talked, students have various concerns as the students can currently only take admission in medical colleges via NEET. When will the Medical Entrance Test happen? Will Govt increase the Number of Attempts like JEE Main 2021? The mode of the exams – PBT or CBT? etc etc. But Education Minister, Mr Ramesh Pokhriyal had hinted at the possibility of twice conduct (online mode was debatable). On the other hand, many experts (and students) hope that the Ministry or NTA will announce the NEET 2021 dates by end of February. Further, they expect that exams will happen in July.
One thing that we need to note, is, that CBSE and other state boards will conduct the 12th Board exams in May-June. Thus, it is highly unlikely that NEET 2021 will happen before July. But, in case the offices look to conduct NEET in July, that will only leave August-September for the second NEET exam. Especially if the exam happens in offline mode, the time between two exams will not favour students. Further, many teachers and professors have opined that NEET 2021 should happen online as many students have received online classes. Like I mentioned before, experts opine that online would ensure quicker results; thus, helping NTA to conduct the examination more than once.
A background on Twice Conduct of NEET 2021
According to an interview with India TV, NTA Director-General Vineet Joshi said that they are actively consulting with the Health Ministry on both aspects. One, the exam dates and online holding; second, the possibility of conducting it two times. The NTA Director General further said that they will announce the NEET exam date as early as possible. Similarly, Dr Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank had mirrored the words. Recently, the Minister interviewed with the Times Group. He had then stated that the days will be out soon. That was two weeks ago.
The NTA will commence the registration for NEET 2021 online soon at ntaneet.nic.in or nta.ac.in. Only the eligible candidates can register for the medical entrance test.
