Since the breakout of the final NEET 2019 schedule, it is now official that NEET 2019 will be conducted once a year and in pen and paper mode only. On August 23, 2018, the official website of National Testing Agency (NTA) hosted the press release of NTA held 5 exams – JEE Main 2019, NEET 2019, UGC NET 2019, CMAT and GPAT, which says that NEET will not be conducted twice a year and neither it will be conducted in the Computer-based mode.
This has thrown the NEET 2019 aspirants in quite a dissatisfied zone. They are are demanding reasons on why NEET like JEE Main 2019 is not being conducted twice a year.
Earlier, Ministry of Health has given reasons to MHRD and requested to rill back the decision of NEET 2019 in online mode and twice a year stating several valid reasons. The reasons being, first, if NEET 2019 is held in online mode than the rural candidates will be at a disadvantage. Second, they said twice a year schedule of the exam will add a lot of pressure on NEET 2019 aspirants. Many will appear for their class 12th boards and many will also opt for the JEE Main 2019 exam. This will mean a continuous 4 months of examinations.
However valid the above reasons are, candidates feel this is an unfair move, as this reasons hold true for the JEE main 2019 aspirants too, but JEE Main 2019 is being conducted twice a year. NEET 2019 aspirants feel this to be unfair stating that the situations and reasons stated for NEET 2019 not being held twice a year are valid for JEE Main 2019 aspirants too.
In our earlier reports, many aspirants have commented voicing their dissatisfaction on this move bt the NTA.
The above are few of the many comments that we have received. The decision of conducting NEET 2019 once a year and JEE Main 2019 twice a year is yet not clear. However, candidates are clearly not happy with this move of NTA.
The government surely have some reasons to differentiate NEET 2019 conduct from other 4 exams that NTA will be conducting from 2019 onwards. NEET being the only medical entrance exam has always been surrounded with controversies and has remained the center attraction. Thus, to conduct NEET 2019 with such big changes requires more thought. This might be one of the reasons to conduct NEET as it was being conducted with no changes.
NEET 2019 will now be conducted on May 05, 2019 and the registrations for the same will start from November 01, 2018. JEE Main 2019, on the other hand, will be conducted first on January 06-20, 2019 and then on April 06-20, 2019 in 8 sittings. The registrations of JEE Main 1 2019 exam will start from September 01, 2018 and the JEE Main 2 2019 registrations are scheduled on February 08, 2019.
Do let us know what are your opinions on NEET not being conducted twice a year like JEE Main in 2019. Comment below!
JEE is conducted twicw &NEET once,but some students appear for both streams .So NEET &JEE Advance paper are very very nearby.candidate may loose either of chance.pl must think on it.Also board exams will be in between JEE too.Dont know how children will do.Rural childern also appears for JEE still it is twicw,likewise NEET should be..very first timetable for both exams twicw was wonderful..
NEET as well JEE both exam be similar and symmetrical ….. If Neet is yearly once, then JEE also be yearly once and ultra…. if JEE is twice a year then NEET also be twice.
In fact JEE has additional Advanced exam which is the real test for aspirant for Premier institutes (Including thrice a year).
Another point, online or offline test factoring the rural aspirants are immaterial.
The decision of not being conducting the neet exam online is one of the worst decision ever.. acc. To their statement that rural students will suffer from this, then they are wrong.. u r going to become a doctor and if u dont have any knowledge about computers then you should opt a security guard job… its bad .. neet should be held twice a year and online..
When rural students can answer jee mains 2019 in online mode I think there is going to be absolutely no problem in answering neet 2019 in online mode. Moreover NTA can organise jee mains twice a year without any difficulties so should be the case for neet as well. We, the NEET 2019 aspirants feel that we are being cheated. Every year there is always a drama regarding NEET exams. Stop playing with our careers just because some coaching institute has been given huse sums to work in their favour…. please think and work honestly…..
This is an unfair move by the government for NEET aspirants to conduct the NEET once in a year as it will not be providing same ground to medical and engineering aspirants to play in. To conduct NEET in pen and paper mode is welcome move but government must reconsider the decision of conducting the same once in a year.
JEE Main in online mode is very easy to hold twice a year but holding NEET twice in online mode is very difficult.. Really? Is this justified? How can u conduct one exam so easily without any problem on the same mode but cant handle the other. Number of aspirants does not differ by millions that holding NEET online will be difficult. Moreover the fact states that there are more number of students obtaining an engineering seat via JEE than NEET. hence holding NEET twice is not only necessary but its becoming mandatory because we need more number of Doctors for a healthy India. Please justify the medical aspirants also.
What hell is going on we neet aspirants all are already mindsets that neet will be twice a year and according to that we are preparing. Now all that is destroyed our mindset and we are at now in depression. If we lost our seat then nta will be face a problem need to start revolution
Neet should be conducte twice a year like jee exam…
The inability to conduct online NEET examination as announced earlier is a failure on part of NTA and the other things are just excuses.They are just playing safe and don’t have guts to address the root of the problem of cheating.
BAD DECISION
What kind of decision is this that JEE can be conducted twice a year but not NEET this is unfair .
We should start a petition against this .
Differentiating NEET and JEE is irrelevant because aspirants of both exams are from rural as well as urban areas.Govt has no proper logic. Present govt.doing nothing but harassing public.viz note bandi,gst black money malya and narav modi etc. …
Neet must be conducted twice a year because of that student’s can check our scores and opportunity to improve it and also get experience of exam….meet should be by pen due to this rular students can Give easily…
Neet continues to remain controversial … Seemingly no respite for its aspirants. If jee can be held twice in a year, then why not neet? This is a genuine question being asked by neet aspirants, which should be reasonably answered by the concerned authority. The reasons put forward so far is simply ludicrous, as these are applicable to jee students as well.
Atleast NTA should have conducted NEET twice this year. Before running to a conclusion that it will pressurize boards students or rural area aspirants will face problem , NTA should have applied this new strategy this year and then from next year onwards if they notice some disadvantages then they should have removed this new trend.
In my point of view conducting NEET twice will definitely reduce pressure on NEET aspirants and even on boards students as they can give first NEET exam as a practice paper.
As everything needs a demo similarly NTA should conduct NEET twice this year taking this year as a demo.
