Candidates looking to appear in the prestigious medical entrance examination
National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) have been waiting for the declaration of the exam date. Aspirants also have eyes on the possible roll-out of a second attempt in a year, which is currently under deliberation.Â
In a conversation with India TV Digital, NTA Director-General Vineet Joshi hinted at an announcement on the exam date by February-end or early-March. Explaining the delay in the declaration of the exam date, Joshi said there are a total of 28 boards, two ministries, and NTA involved in the brainstorming process, so the process is taking time. We are in consultation with all the stakeholders, and taking into consideration all possible aspects in the best interest of students. We expect to reach a final decision by the end of February, the director-general of the premier organization said.Â
