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!
Totally disagree with the decision of holding the exam only once for neet. All problems stated for neet applies to jee also. What if jee aspirants also go to the court for any reason! This is not the fault of neet aspirants that government is not able to deal with discrepancies or objections raised by courts. Neet should also be held twice so that pressure on students is minimal. VERY BAD DECISION TO HAVE NEET ONCE WHEREAS JEE TWICE. PARTIAL DECISION DUE TO IN CAPABILITIES. DECISION SHOULD BE REVERSED TO TWICE A YEAR NEET.
The govt is not clear about the NEET exam 2019 with uncertainty this led to the parents of aspirants NEET 2019 in dilemma and govt is changing the rules in daily basis
My simple suggestion is why don’t the govt give a chance to the NEET2018 candidates who is not qualified can go abroad without NEET for last time

It is very unfair for medical aspirants. How can the government discriminate the students. It would be promising if the exam is held twice a year. Please reconsider
There must be NEET exam twice a year.Why discriminate between students aspiring for JEE and NEET? They also deserve a second chance.As a senior secondary teacher as well as a parent,I am aware of the anxiety caused due to such discrimination.
I’m happy with nta’s decisions because students who are appearing for their 12th board exam it will be a huge amount of pressure during the examination. so it’s good

Why differentiate between NEET & JEE aspirant? It is all about money. The education mafia have a vested interest they do not want to have a transparent system of examination. Most of these people are now legislators and easily shoot down reforms on some pretext or the other.
If her is conducted twice then neet should also be held twice.If meet is conducted twice then the no.of repeaters will be reduced and students won’t waste a year .so pls NTA take a good decision for meet aspirants.
This is truly clear cut case of biased decision where on account of privy reasons the politicians have come out with NEET 2019 TO BE HELD ONCE. The unfair and unequal treatment to NEET and JEE aspirants is against the law as envisaged in our constitution EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES TO ALL. I think that we should approach court as this clear case of favoritism and misuse of power to appease and benefit .certain strata of society.
NEET should be held twice in a year like JEE (Main) so that aspirants can avail their best performance …Twice in a year means load on the students will decrease with the thought that I can get another opportunity if not performed in one test…

Are Rural students not apearing JEE ? Its unfair judgement to hold JEE twice but NEET once….
Yes i also want NTA to conduct neet twice a year
Really I think all the JEE aspirants are from USA , Australia none of them are from rural areas.
Jab JEE online Mai hi Sakta hai rural areas mai then neet kyu Nahi.
NTA decision is totally Bullshit.
