National Testing Agency (NTA) released the admit card of National Entrance-cum-Eligibility Test-2019 on April 15, 2019, at 9 PM. Students reported that the admit cards downloaded between 9 PM to 10 PM showed exam date to be April 15, 2019, whereas the actual exam date is May 05, 2019.
NTA was quick to rectify the error. Within an hour, the Agency uploaded the NEET 2019 admit card with correct exam date.
