New Delhi: Aspirants appearing for the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2023 scheduled to be held on Sunday, May 7, are planning to approach the Bombay High Court for the postponement of the exam seeking more preparation time.
They have been running social media campaigns, urging the government to postpone the exam, citing a shortage of time to prepare for the medical entrance exam.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) had refused to postpone the medical entrance test, suggesting that deferring the exam date will disturb the academic cycle.
A group of students is reportedly planning to file a fresh petition in the Bombay High Court for the referment of the entrance exam. “Friends 5 petitioner are ready to sign the petition we are just waiting for the @AliKaashifKhan sir for the reply once they reply we will file the petition in the Bombay High School let’s hope for the best,” a medical aspirant posted on Twitter while using the hashtag postpone NEETUG 2023
Medical students from across the country are also using hashtags on social media such as #NEETUG2023POSTPONE and #postponeNEETUG2023 to raise their demands.
Some days ago, a group of medical students even formed an online petition on change.org seeking the postponement of NEET UG exams. They requested that postponing the ‘NEET to just 15 days will not do any harm’. As per reports, more than 650 students have signed the petition, News18 reported.
Meanwhile, the NEET UG 2023 exam city slip can be downloaded from the official website at neet.nta.nic.in. NTA is expected to issue the admit card soon. The exam will be held on May 7 from 2 pm to 5:20 pm.
