NEET 2019 will be held in offline mode only once a year. The complete schedule of the new NEET 2019 is out. As per it, the date of exam is 05 May 2019. Registration for the national level medical entrance exam will start on 01 November 2018. Important: NEET 2019 Complete Details!
Candidates who wish to appear in the NEET 2019 must fill and submit the application form by the last date that is 30 November 2018. It may be noted here that earlier two schedules were released for form filling, one was for the NEET 2019 February exam and other was for the May exam. Since now there will be only one exam, so registration will also be one time.
Thereafter, those who apply will be able to download admit card of NEET 2019 from 15 April 2019. This will be more than two weeks prior to the entrance test. This will give candidates ample time to be aware of their exam centre and make appropriate arrangements for the same. This year the MHRD has reportedly assured that candidates will not get very far off centres.
Instead of holding the exam twice, from 03 to 17 February and 12 to 26 May, the NEET 2019 will only be once that is on 05 May 2019. The dates have been reported as of now only on prominent news networks. NTA is looked forward to update these dates on official website soon.
Moreover it is also informed that the result of single day NEET 2019 will be announced on 05 June 2019. The schedule is almost completely similar to the last year’s exam schedule wherein exam was held on the first Sunday of May and result announced in beginning of June.
NEET 2019 will be held on the first Sunday of the month of May in the year 2019. Once again, candidates will get one attempt in a year. Although it isn’t clear yet whether the same system will continue next year or not. This will put candidates for NEET 2020 in confusion yet again.
Earlier this year, in the month of July, MHRD minister Prakash Javadekar had announced that the all India medical entrance exam NEET will be held twice and in computer based test mode from the year 2019 onwards. The schedule was also published at new official website of NTA that is nta.ac.in. However on August 10 it was reported that the Ministry of Health had asked the Ministry of Human Resources Development to reconsider their decision because it will put rural students in a fix who do not have easy access to technology, and also class 12 students will have to appear in too many exams. Following that, it has now been reported today, at 6 PM via news networks, that NEET 2019 changes will roll back. New rules that were supposed to apply to the exam will now be cancelled.
This news on NEET 2019 being conducted once a year again in offline mode might be upsetting to a large group of students who were looking forward to twice a year exam to get two chances. On the other hand, many were initially not happy with the sudden changes and wanted the exam to continue in the same mode for at least a year. What are your views on this? Let us know in the comments below.
It would have been nice if NEET is also conducted twice a year like JEE. It’s too unfair by conducting JEE twice but NEET only once!!!
Not a good decision.NEET should be held twice like JEE. Why there is inequality. Otherwise JEE should be held once like NEET.
F*** it it should be conducted twice a year 12th walon ko firse ek chance milta na may me agar ye do baar hota aur saath hi droppers ka bhi fayda hota iss se
What an excuse that rural students will be in disadvantage. .sir jee students also comes from rural area..if rural students are at disadvantage then jee should also be held once and in offline pen and paper mode…its irony that same nta conducting jee twice but for neet it cant…good future is in jeopardy
Sir, nice decision.
Sir,
To be very frank the decision was very correctly taken to hold neet/jee mains or any other such entrance tests. At times it so happens that students even if they are very intelligent, they don’t become able to present themselves in the process of being tested just because of some reason or other. But that does not mean that they are not intelligent. Due importance must be given to select correct and deserving candidates. This is why nowadays every educational institutions are adopting the continuous and comprehensive evaluation process. In the similar manners if these entrance examinations will be available available to the candidates more than one chance in a year, they will definitely prove their excellence. At the same time they will not have to wait for another long year to take next chance. Again it is also an wise decision to hold it through cbt mode for ensuring transparency in the whole process of making correct selections with ease and accuracy. The selection panel should be allowed to continue to conduct with this format from this year itself. At the same time it must be reformed in such a way that students obtaining medical degrees from other countries should not be allowed to practice here in the native country. However for enhancing of capacity or for advanced medical use they may be screened and allowed only after getting admitted. This is my personal opinion and may be helpful for finding out what is required for the medical profession/technical profession and so on.
Neet should be twice a year …
Conducting exam once in a year is a weong decision opt by govt bcz student who r preparing for last 1 or more than 1 year face prlb in 1 time exam so acc to reapters or freshers exam should be conducted twice in a year
N students who r giving boards exam face prlb was the reasn given by some pepole think children who r giving jee twice a year are not children they don’t have a prlb than why medical aspirants are facing this so those who r saying exam should conduct once in a year are dub students
N online mode is benefit bcz in onlime mode we don’t fill up omr we directly give the ans and filling omr is time taking
So it’s a humble req to govt to take exam twice in a year.
Repeaters should be allowed to give exam twice, who has already passed 12th standard exam. For new students only one exam first year. If they wish to repeat they have two options next year.
This is very bad news/decision.Neet exam should be conducted twice a year so that many students grab the opportunity.
Yes sir stop playing with us ..this is our future .neet should be twice ..
if low caste people get gov.medical college in less no.then why not general caste?…everywhere there is equality ..why not in neet??
For general caste also there is less cut off as for low caste .. students are equal for for all castes..
Plss take any action

If you think neet will not held twice in a year due to disadvantage of technology for the rural candidates,then JEE should also held pen paper based because several students in JEE from rural areas.
