Medical aspirants demand postponement of NEET UG 2023
With just a few days left for NEET UG 2023, medical aspirants across the country have intensified their campaign on social media to postpone the exam. They are expressing concern over the lack of time to prepare for the exam and launched an online campaign on social media platforms using hashtags such as “#NEETUG2023POSTPONE” and “#postponeNEETUG2023”.
Online petition gains support
In addition to the social media campaign, an online petition has been created by some of the aspirants on Change.org to defer the exam. The petition has already gained over 650 signatures. “We understand that the government is trying to bring back the pre-pandemic academic schedule, but postponing NEET to just 15 days will not do any harm in our opinion,” the petition reads.
Plan to file plea in Bombay High Court
To intensify their demand further, the students are planning to file a fresh plea in the Bombay High Court for the deferment of the exam. “Friends, 5 petitioners are ready to sign the petition. We are just waiting for @AliKaashifKhan sir for the reply. Once they reply, we will file the petition in the Bombay High Court. Let’s hope for the best #postponeNEETUG2023,” an aspirant wrote on Twitter.
NTA remains silent on postponement
Despite the growing demand from students, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not issued any official statement on the postponement of NEET UG 2023.
