In their campaign for exam postponement, they said there will be a clash of NEET UG 2022 exam with CUET 2022 as CUET exam will be scheduled tentatively in July first and second week. They feel the candidates, who applied for both the NEET and CUET exam, will get a few days to prepare for the medical entrance test. It will create additional pressure on the students, they added.

Some of the students stated that when it was the matter of JEE Main 2022 exam, NTA had postponed it without any hesitation, then why do the authorities are biased in postponing the NEET UG exam 2022?

And this time it is not just the students, the parents of the students have also demanded for exam postponement for the sake of their children’s career.

Here’s what students said on Twitter:

A Twitter handle called NEET(UG)-JEE Students Association in a tweet urged the National Testing Agency (NTA), education minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the ministry of education for NEET-UG postponement saying that droppers are not getting enough time for revision.

This was the tweet of @DG_NTA when they postponed jee main exam, Reason:-(to prepare well) as they mentioned in this tweet. So this same testing agency can’t postpone NEET-UG for the same reason (to prepare well).

Why this biased behaviour?@dpradhanbjp #MODIJIdeferNEETUG pic.twitter.com/SUBk3b26YH

“Last year, the NEET-UG exam was on 12 September & this year on July 17th! The dropper is not even getting exactly 10 months! Why students will have to suffer if the officials took more time than usual to declare the result, conduct the counseling process? #NTAdeferNEETUG,” said the association.
