NEET UG 2021: Latest update on medical entrance exam dates Unsplash Students preparing for admissions to medical (MBBS), dental (BDS) and pharmacy undergraduate (UG) programmes have called for the central government to release dates of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2021. The competitive examination is usually conducted once a year by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on the first Sunday of May. However, the agency is yet to announce the NEET UG 2021 dates yet. In the wake of COVID-19 and subsequent lockdown, the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) was conducted in September last year. Now, as per the report by TOI, the NEET UG exam will be conducted in pen and paper mode between June and July 2021.
