    Expert committee to decide on conducting NEET, JEE-Main by tomorrow

    Union Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' on Thursday said that an expert committee will decide on conducting the NEET and JEE exams by Friday. The NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test), for admission to medical colleges, and JEE (Joint Entrance Examination), for admission to engineering colleges, are scheduled to be conducted later in July. Here are more details.

    HRD Ministry received several requests to postpone exams

    Pokhriyal said that the HRD Ministry had received several requests from students seeking the postponement of JEE and NEET examinations in light of the coronavirus outbreak. The NEET (UG) 2020 is scheduled for July 26, while the JEE Main exam will be held from July 18-23. Earlier in May, the AIIMS Director had said that the outbreak will peak in June-July.

    Expert committee to submit recommendations by tomorrow

    Pokhriyal said that the HRD Ministry had requested Director-General of the National Testing Agency (NTA), Vineet Joshi, to form a committee and review the ongoing coronavirus situation. By Friday, the committee will make recommendations on whether the situation is conducive to conducting the two entrance examinations, Pokhriyal said. Earlier reports had said that the examinations are unlikely to be held in July.
