NEET 2021 exam date: CONFIRMED! No extra attempt for students, says NTA - Dates to be revealed in this time

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has decided against giving multiple attempts to students appearing for NEET 2021 exam. As students anxiously wait for NEET exam 2021 date, it has been decided that NTA will hold NEET 2021 exam like in previous years, without any changes. That means students will be not given any additional attempt this year if they fail to clear NEET 2021 exam in one go.  

NTA Director-General Vineet Joshi has confirmed to The Indian Express that the examination would be conducted only once, the way it has been done since years. Notification in this regard will be out soon, said the report quoting Joshi. Perhaps, NEET 2021 exam date will be revealed this week itself.

NEET aspirants have been demanding an extra attempt this year due to their studies getting affected in the view of Covid 19 pandemic.  

The demand apparently comes after Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal earlier had hinted at increasing NEET 2021 attempts. "The government was exploring the possibility of holding NEET exam multiple times in a year," Pokhriyal had said.   

In 2020, the examination was conducted on September 13, 2020, at various examination centers. The exam last year was postponed twice due to the pandemic. The exam was conducted in eleven languages- English, Urdu, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Odia, Marathi, Kannada, Gujarati, Tamil, and Telugu. 

NTA is likely to announce NEET exam 2021 date this week. The examination date would be announced by the Agency and be available on the official site of NTA NEET on ntaneet.nic.in.

Also, NEET aspirants should know that there are several documents that they have to upload during the registration process of NEET 2021 exam.
