Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that seeking postponement of the NEET UG 2022 exam, which is scheduled to take place on July 17, the aspirants were crying for Justice on Twitter.
However, neither the NTA nor the Health Ministry agrees for such demands. In fact, when the candidates had sought the interference of the Supreme Court regarding the issue, the top court had junked the plea and gave liberty to the candidates for approaching the competent authorities. Ultimately NEET UG 2021 was conducted on September 12, 2021.
