New Delhi: The demands for postponing the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test 2022 (NEET-UG 2022) exam, is escalating gradually as the aspirants have now directly urged the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi ji to intervene.

Trending the hashtag #MODIJIdeferNEETUG on Twitter, the aspirants for NEET-UG have pointed out that they are under immense pressure because of the schedule of the common medical entrance test on July 17, leaving the candidates with a very small time gap with the counselling dates for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test 2021.

Referring to the fact that JEE main has been postponed, the aspirants have questioned why can't the same be done for NEET-UG as well.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that around 10,000 aspirants had written to National Testing Agency (NTA) requesting to postpone the exam and allocate them with enough time for preparation. Writing to the agency, the aspirants had pointed out how the counselling for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test 2021 was incomplete and the scheduled date for NEET on July 17 is almost clashing with the dates for CUET & JEE Mains.

"Pursuing MBBS is a dream of lakhs of students and the emotions of their parents and teachers are connected therewith. But due to this declaration of premature dates, they are starting to give up on their dreams. Please allocate them an adequate amount of time so that they can prepare well for the exam," the students had mentioned in the letter.

In fact, referring to the short time gap for preparation, the candidates had started signing an online petition demanding to defer the exam to August. The petition, a copy of which was circulating on the social media platforms, had pointed out the situation of the aspirants who are facing immense mental stress and pressure because of NEET UG schedule in July.
Escalating their demands further, the aspirants have now directly urged the Prime Minister to intervene. Using the hashtag #MODIJIdeferNEETUG, the aspirants are now requesting PM Modi directly requesting him to postpone the exam.
Some of the students are claiming that students are committing suicide because of the pressure.
Demanding to defer the exam, some candidates referred to the fact that the authorities postponed JEE main exam so that the aspirants can prepare better.
Claiming that 3 months of time is not satisfied, some of the aspirants have questioned if Counselling can be delayed then why not NEET?
Using the hashtag which is currently trending with thousands of Tweets every other hour, the candidates are requesting the authorities to postpone the exam by 4 to 6 weeks.
Last week the candidates were using the hashtag #NTAdeferNEETUG with the same request for postponing the exam. In fact, the candidates had approached the Minister of Education Shri Dharmendra Pradhan.
