Now that CBSE 12 exams have been cancelled due to the surge in COVID-19 cases, the Education Ministry is expected to conduct a meeting to take a final decision on schedule of pending JEE-Main and NEET-UG. Both exams were scheduled for August. 

JEE 2021 NEET 2021

NEET-UG is an entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BSMS, BUMS, and BHMS courses. This year, JEE-Main aspirants have been given the option of attempting the exam four times a year so that they can improve their scores and only the best score will be considered. The first two sessions have already been conducted by the NTA in February and March, respectively, whereas the remaining two sessions were scheduled to be held in April and May. However, these were deferred due to the increasing COVID-19 cases.
