There has been a lot of hues and cry over the conduct of JEE-NEET exams this year, with students, politicians, academicians and ruling party divided on the matter. Six state governments have also filed petitions in the apex court regarding the centre’s decision to conduct the exams during the pandemic.
However, the National Testing Agency (NTA) went ahead to issue an advisory for conducting the NEET exams 2020. This advisory is meant for the safety of students, teachers and those involved in the exam and for smooth conduct of it.
