It has to be remembered that the NTA made the announcement of NEET UG 2021 on March 12, 2021. In that public notice, it was mentioned that the NEET UG 2021 Exam will be held on August 1, 2021 in pen and paper mode. However, due to the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic across the country, the registration process for NEET UG 2021 was delayed. NTA also postponed the JEE Main 2021 April and May session exams.

However, as the number of COVID-19 cases decline, last week, NTA announced the resumption of the JEE Main 2021 April and May session exams. Regarding the NEET UG 2021 Exam, the Union Education Minister further tweeted, "In order to ensure social distancing norms,  number of cities where examination will be conducted has been increased from 155 to 198. The number of examination centres will also be increased from the 3862 centres used in 2020."
