Earlier, he stood with the students appealing to postpone exams
Previously as well, Sood has been vocal about supporting those who have to appear for NEET and JEE. He shared videos and appeals of students asking to postpone the exams, and also urged the government to delay the exams by 60 days to ensure proper planning. He called this situation, "an examination not only for students, but for the Government too."

It’s an examination for the Government too.
Govt. has an opportunity to excel by postponing #JEE_NEET for 60 days.
Make it happen and bring those smiles back.
Students Govt. can prepare in this time window. #PostponeJEE_NEET
Demands for postponing the exams are coming from every direction
Apart from Sood, opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, her Odisha counterpart Naveen Patnaik, DMK President MK Stalin, and Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia have also demanded the postponement. Even environmental activist Greta Thunberg tweeted her support for the students. Recently, 4,000 students went on a hunger strike to demand postponing of the JEE Main 2020 and NEET 2020 exam.
