“They are facing it every month, I am facing it annually,” the union education minister said at the event.
The statement from the education minister comes a day after the National Students Union of India (NSUI) wrote a letter to him for the postponement of NEET UG 2022.
In his letter, NSUI national president Neeraj Kundan said since lakhs of students are going to appear for the NEET UG 2022 examination, the process for the examination should not be started or concluded ‘in a hurry’.
The NSUI chief also alleged that the delay in the notice has also reduced the preparation time to a minimum and asked for NEET UG 2022 to be postponed for at least 45 days.

He said the counseling procedure for the previous academic session is already running late and with the minimum time left for preparation, it is difficult for a student to ace an exam with such competitiveness.
With just a few days left for the NEET UG 2022, students have once again expressed their concerns on social media and urged PM Modi and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to postpone the NEET UG exam. The exam is scheduled to take place on July 17.
Taking to social media, the agitating students demanded that NEET UG exam be postponed for 40 days only with about 19 days remaining until the medical entrance exam for undergrads.
