Students want to begin their college journey and are curious to know when NEET and JEE Main exam will be held, which is a major step to begin their further studies. Recently, a meeting was held a few days back and the authorities of the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health reviewed the COVID situation in India so that they may come up to a decision to prevail the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2021 and the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) 2021.
According to the meeting, it is expected that the exam is most likely to be postponed and it is to be kept in mind that the NEET 2021 will be now held on August 1, 2021, and the application forms are yet to be issued by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Usually, 60 days of time-lapse is provided by the NTA between application form and exam so that all the requirements are completed in time such as allowing exam centers, arrangement of seats, admit card roll-out, changes in application etc.
In 2020, NEET was held in September and this time chances are that the exam will be postponed till September. The numbers of students who give this entrance exam on average are 14 lakh. As an amendment, in 2020 an increase in the number of exam centers was increased to 3,843 from 2,546 by the National Testing Agency.
Considering the information about the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) 2021, it is not really clear when the exam will be held. According to the news, the Union Ministry of Education is predicted to conduct both the entrance exams between July and August. It is expected that the schedule for the NEET and JEE 2021 will be provided in two or three days.
Due to the COVID-19 situation the CBSE Board Examination for grade 12 was canceled after being postponed many times as the authorities couldn’t take the risk of putting the lives of so many children in danger.
The CBSE has decided the marking scheme by considering the marks scored by the students in 10th, 11th and the exams that the schools had conducted in 12th. The result is expected to be declared on 31st July 2021.
