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!
Only neet aspirants come from rural area and jee aspirants all come from metropolitan cities this is discrimination there should be equal chances for both of fields
Let it be pen paper mode only bt neet sholud also be held twice a year like jee
Using online mode for exam is not a rocket science.We just have to click right answer that’s it.I think students irrespective of their place atleast know this that they have to click the right answer.Bubbling is way to difficult for rural students as it is time consuming and if any bubbling goes wrong then whole year is wasted.In online mode we can make changes.We they announced in parliament that NEET will be conducted twice Is this a joke going on.JEE aspirant will get 2 Chance and NEET aspirant will get only one.This is totally against NEET aspirant.
THIS IS NOT DIGITAL INDIA.THIS IS ONLY PEN AND PAPER INDIA.AND PLEASE SIR PLEASE FIRST TAKE ADVICE FROM CONCERN BODIES BEFORE MAKING SUCH A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT AND THEN SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT FEASIBLE.WE ARE GOING BACK IN TIME

I am. Not happy with the nta decision this is totally unfair with neet aspirants it would be better if cbse afford neet 2019.
This is very wrong for medical student that neet conduct once a year while mains conduct twice a year.
we were very happy that neet will be in feb and may but now 😖😖😖😖please make it it back again
please
This is a good decision to conduct NEET once a year. It’s very difficult to master those 100 chapters in that short notice.
For ur kind info sir, Ur reasons r really useless JEE MAIN aspirants also exsist in rural areas.. Jst like NEET.. n how it will increase pressure on students if conducted twice.? Instead they will get 2 chances ! Dnt provide such invalid reasons to prove ur point
Computer based jee mains is not fair for rural areas students.you are thinking this criteria for neet,why not for jee mains?
I support NTA’s decision and i am a NERT aspirant.Thanks for giving more time to prepare.And online mode is a strange thing for many of us.
There is verdict of supreme court and guidelines that papers for each candidate in neet ug must be same with different sequence and sets to avoid cheating in all languages.No one can compare students with different question papers and making rank list without normalisation.Normalisation and making percentile like AIIMS UG will solve all the problems. But still most will not understand the process and may approach court.To change the system of examinations pattern from neet to aiims again court permission should be sought for.Or otherwise court may cancel the entire examination and order fresh examinations.Think about the harassment and tension of students leaving aside the cost of examination conduction.Governments cannot take the risk of such likely complications.Hence least hazardous path was taken. The first announcements was taken without much thought and homework.Corrected now.Other points like rural /urban computer problems ,examination pressure/burden is just lame excuses because engineering aspirants are also having the same problems. Main matter is the guidelines of the supreme court.
This is unfair. Neet should also be conducted twice,perhaps,it will reduce the frustration of students of losing an year and will prevent any wrong step taken by them..
NTA should conduct Neet twice.
Please Please conduct neet twice in pen paper mode.
This is totally unfair..I think in neet there are more droppers than Freshers …why they are not thinking about droppers more than 50 percent of students are dropper in neet and saying that how the rural areas studnets will manage themselves to give computer based test than I think if a student has a dream to become a doctor than giving a computer based test is not a very big task it’s just totally an excuse…students k liye jyada Sochne k chakkar me kuch jyada hi Soch gyi hmari government…
