Every year Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is conducted by the governing agency, National Test Agency (NTA) in order to get admission in Undergraduate engineering and medical courses. Moreover, for admission to numerous UG, PG and PhD courses, a common entrance test named CUCET is conducted by the Central University of Rajasthan. However, amid the ongoing pandemic, the designated administration was forced to either shut the exams or postpones the exams for the time being.
Due to the continuing Wuhan virus pandemic, the NTA postponed the exams of Joint entrance 2020 and 2021 and also increased the number of attempts this year. Last year, the agency offered two sessions of the JEE Mains exams, that is, the January and the April session. The first phase of the 2020 engineering entrance was successfully conducted, however, because of the ongoing virus, the dates for the second session was postponed three times and was later conducted in September 2020.
Since the pandemic, National Test Agency (NTA) offered 4 attempts to the students who are appearing in the 2021 examination out of which two sessions are still remaining. Meanwhile, the NEET 2021 examination is supposed to take place on 1st August 2021, however, the probability of it is quite unlikely as to data, the registration process for hte same has not been started. The conducting body of the medical and engineering examination is about to submit a report on holding the entrance exams today.
In the supposed report, the agency is thinking about a proper way of conducting the entrance exams, keeping in mind the current scenario. This year, we witnessed that the CBSE and other board exams were also cancelled, and therefore, the entrance exams shall be proved to be a common gateway for students to take admission to their respective colleges. It has been reported that the Union council of Minister together with NTA are also planning to include more universities under the CUCET common entrance exam.
Moreover, as we previously discussed that this time NTA has decided to conduct the Main exams of JEE in 4 phases, it has been said that the NEET aspirants are also demanding that the same shall apply to the medical entrance examination. As per the reports, it is said that the agency is likely to change the exam pattern of NEET 2021. Meanwhile, during the examination special consideration shall be given to the social distancing norms. We will keep you updated, till then, stay tuned with us.
