Students protesting on microblogging site Twitter are demanding the postponement of NEET UG 2022 for at least 40 days citing several reasons including the clash of NEET exam schedule with CUET. Students claim that the Counselling for NEET UG 2021 ended in May and NEET UG 2022 is scheduled for July 17 which gave less than 3 months to prepare for the exam. Students also say that the CBSE 12th board exams were concluded on June 15 leaving aspirants with just 1 month to prepare for the NEET 2022 exam.

It is pertinent to note that the NTA has already released the advance intimation slip for NEET UG 2022 providing the information about the exam cities allotted to the students. Notably, more than 18.72 lakh students have applied for NEET 2022, making it the highest ever registration number in recent times. This time the number of aspirants is 2.5 lakh students more than the last time. Students must notice that no official information has been shared regarding the postponement of NEET-UG 2022 hence they must not waste their time on fake news as NEET UG exam is scheduled to be held on July 17, 2022.
