Q:   Which is the best time to study: late night or early in the morning?
A: 
Day 1.After a good nights sleep, youll likely havemore energyand a higher ability to concentrate the next day. 2.Society is structured around beingactive during the day and sleeping at night, so by sticking to this norm there are undeniable benefits such as being able to go to the library or book shop. 3.Most people are contactable during the day so itseasier to communicate with your friends or teachersduring the day if you have any questions. 4.Natural light is better for your eyes. Artificial light hurts our eyes and can affect our natural sleep rhythm. 4 Benefits of Studying at Night 1.People are more active, louder and intense during the day. At night its only you and the night owls so you canstudy in peace and quiet. 2.If youre lucky enough to live near a library thats open late, you will notice that thelibrary isnear desertedwhen you want to study late. 3.At night there arefewer distractionsthan during the day.

The night canincrease your creative efficacyand help you see concepts differently.
Q:   If I opt to participate in second round of NEET UG counseling, will my allotted seat of first round be cancelled?
A: 

In case candidates are not allotted any seat in the second round of the NEET UG counselling, the earlier allotted seat in Round 1 will be retained. However, on up-gradation of a seat in the second round, the earlier allotted seat in Round 1 will automatically be cancelled and allotted to another candidate. Therefore, candidates are advised to fill in only higher choices or any other choice which they prefer over the earlier allotted seat, for second round.

Q:   Will NEET be conducted twice?
A: 

Although earlier NTA was mulling the idea of conducting NEET twice a year, now it has been confirmed that the exam will be held only once a year in a paper-pencil based mode. NTA communicated this information through an RTI response where it was stated that NEET will be conducted once a year. This has quashed the possibility of conducting NEET twice a year. However, the NTA expert committee headed by ISRO Chief K. Radhakrishnan has recommended conducting NEET twice a year, but there has not been any official confirmation on it yet. 

Q:   What is the full form of NEET?
A: 

The full form of NEET is National Eligibility cum Entrance Test. It is a national-level entrance exam for admission to undergraduate medical and para-medical courses in India. The exam is conducted by the National Testing Agency. It is held once a year in a paper-pencil based mode.

However, since the intensity of Covid has reduced as compared to the last two years, this year candidates may not be provided masks at the centre. The information will be confirmed after the release of the NEET admit card. However, it is recommended that they wear face masks for the entire duration. This should be done to ensure their and other test-takers' safety.
