The National Testing Agency has not declared officially the exam dates of NEET 2021 Exam. However, there was a meeting held between the Ministry of Education, NTA, and the Health Ministry. The discussion was to figure out a few concerns about conducting of NEET 2021 Exam. There have been various requests received from the students and according to these requests, the education minister, Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank' has asked the Health Ministry to examine the situation carefully and reach to the decision of conducting NEET 2021 through online mode. He also asked the ministry and NTA to conduct the exam more than once in the year 2021. The decision is yet to be taken by the officials.
Though the officials of Health Ministry have taken this proposal into their consideration, yet the final decision on the mode along with the periodicity of the examination rests with the National Medical Commission (NMC).
The aspirants of NEET Exam must notice that the National Testing Agency (NTA) is only held responsible to conduct NEET Exam, but the other decisions such as mode of the examination, examination pattern, syllabus, etc. fall under the Ministry pf Health and Family Welfare through NMC which is an independent body. After getting an approval from NMC, the NTA takes over as the conducting body.
