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!
Very unfair decision by govt…..Should tale it twice……Still they can change their decision and can take it twice…..
It’s not fair that IIT is twice and NEET is once a year why only they get 2 chance in one why not we
we also want NEET to be conducted twice
Okay that fine that it’s pen paper format but it could be twice;which indeed be supportive decision for medical aspirants

I don’t understand the excuse that board students will be under pressure. Since, best of two scores was to be considered, no student was under pressure. In fact, all of my board giving friends were extremely happy with this plan that they will get to know their shortcomings in Feb exam. But, government has become like dictatorship. It does only what it wants. There was announcement also that centres will be opened in schools for rural candidates to practise. Then, God knows what politics grabbed their mind now that they changed their decision.
We have been astonished that NTA could not take NEET 2019 twice. But JEE main will be held twice. Why such happens? It is a wrong decision taken by the authority. I hereby request to the authority kindly reconsider the fact and must be twice as JEE.
It is really unfair how the nta take decision likes that how the people can get their seat in neet. Pls take second decision of keeping neet twice a year please 😢
Neet should be conducted twice a year just like jee mains. This shows that government of India is so weak in making decisions that they do not consider the welfare of students and leave them hanging in confusion. India need good doctors… Engineers are already jobless and look for other alternatives since jobs are not available to all… If neet puts a pressure on the 12th students… then jee puts the same pressure as well and neet should be held twice a year. The ministry should think once and just not change big decisions made once.. Stop giving false hopes to students…We want justice. Somebody please convey them our messages and provide us with speedy justice.Let’s raise our voice against this injutice and not just sit back and watch them play with our future
Waste government taking stupid decisions please protest against this NEET 2019 SHOULD BE CONDUCTED TWICE
This will pay lots of problem it is bad decision of N T A
Those reasons are also valid for the students who are giving jee mains in 2019….many of the jee mains aspirants belong to rural areas…will they not face any problem in the online test mode??? Or are they are well prepared from their birth for cbt mode??..and the students giving jee mains also have their 12th boards as we neet students have…this is very unfair…and the authorised ministry should be answerable to all our questions….
This is unfair to neet aspirants.we also should get 2 chance in a year like jee aspirants
This is unfair to neet aspirants.we also should get 2 chance in a year like jee aspirants
