Postpone NEET UG 2022: After voicing their concerns to the NTA, the Health Ministry, and Prime Minister Modi, medical students have filed a new letter to the education minister, requesting that the medical entrance exam be postponed, citing a lack of time to study for the exam. Despite the fact that no one has reacted to their concerns, the aspirants are not giving up and are bringing their case to the central government.
In the letter, the copy of which is doing rounds on social media platforms, the aspirants have pointed out the reasons for which the exam should be postponed. They also urged the authorities to postpone the exam by 6 weeks so that they can prepare well for the entrance test.
“Pursuing MBBS and becoming a doctor is a dream of lakhs of students and the emotions of their parents and teachers are connected with this exam. But due the declaration of premature dates, they have started to give up on their dreams. Please allocate them an adequate amount of time so that they can prepare well for the exam,” the aspirants mentioned in the letter.
They urged the authorities with folded hands to take up this matter in the interest of the students and provide them with minimum time of 6 weeks and shift the dates to late august or early September so that they can prepare well for the exam.
Earlier, around 10,000 aspirants had written to National Testing Agency (NTA) requesting it to postpone the exam and allocate them with enough time for preparation. In their letter they had pointed out how the counselling for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test 2021 was incomplete and the scheduled date for NEET on July 17 is almost clashing with the dates for CUET & JEE Mains.
The anxious and overstressed medical aspirants have been for many months now demanding postpone of NEET UG 2022. With their demand on Twitter, they were using hashtags such as #postponeneetug2022, #JusticeForNEETUG and #JusticeforNeetStudents.
