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!
I am not at all satisfied with this decision. JEE aspirants will get opportunity twice a year whereas NEET aspirants only once. And the reasons aren’t justified, only conducting NEET twice a year will pressurize students or what? If not then same must be applied for JEE! But that won’t happen! Its totally unjustifiable for NEET aspirants! If there will be problem faced by rural students for online mode then why doesn’t the authority conducts the exam twice in pen paper mode only!!!
It’s like giving hopes then shattering them in a matter of days!!!
I am very disappointed for unsatisfactory decision of nta and mhrd .Rural candidates also appear in jeemain exam please sir take a suitable steps to overcome this problem and conduct both exams in both mode
Why nta doing partiality……they said on computer mode exam ….rural areas students are in loss……but jee kept in online mode?? Is that beneficial for rural students..
Due to this most of good students going abroad for there MBBS study ….due to that type of decision ,India is still a developing country not developed country….I request to nta either u will remove computer mode from jee!! Otherwise same like her u have to held NEET exam… twice in year and on computer mode… thanks
I am not satisfied with nta decision…plz nta conduct neet twice….
Plzzz conduct neet twice….
Sir it is better to conduct neet 19. Two times a year as they said earlier.
Clearly not satisfiesd with decision JEE mains is being held twice they are given two chances while the medical aspirants have been given only one chance where everybody knows in India whose population is Greater engineers or doctors and still they are given twice a chance. It really means that the students who gave Neet to sit in medical are idiots did you not know how to work with computers they are an inferior race this decision clearly violates constitutions of India this system clearly differentiate between the races of Medical and Engineering aspirants very unhappy with this decision
Both have equal rights and opportunities . Why their is a discrimination between neet aspirants. I want to say that jeev aspirants also belong from rural areas. How they will practice. ….. Please change this rule all neet aspirants can should have equal opportunities

Neet should be conducted twice a year so as to give more opportunities to the aspirants just like Jee
I want Aglasem to post these comments they published above and send it to the HRD minister so that he can know how we feel about the final decision. This thing broke lakhs of young hearts spirit. Alteast we expected something to be better than last year. If nothing is changed, why did they take the decision of conducting neet twice earlier. We had lot of hopes. It feels as if a Beggar wins a Lottery with lots of money but then he is told that this was not the correct ticket that won. Please Aglasem Headquarters, if u are seeing. Please send it anyhow. We still want alteast two chances,be it in offline or online mode.
Neet aspirants are always treated badly,what NTA actually want to do i just can’t understand,n only neet aspirants are from rural area?what about JEE?,NTA really unsatisfied us..
This is not a fair decision at all u shld think all those reasons before u tell abt this may be fr this reason many students who dropped out for 2019 as the exam will be held twice.!!wat will u answer them. If not in feb let exam be on Jan only!! Or some other month how many times will u change like this and make us think only about this not our studies. Think once last year there were more than 13,00,000 students who wrote neet all will having the dream to become a doctor right!! So why we felt happy for 2019 may be if possible most of them can complete there wish or goal..! But you people always put back our confidence.. really this government is 😡 mad.
Bad decision
