Earlier, Medical Dialogues had also reported that with the norm of social distancing and "do gaj doori" in effect considering the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, the National Board of Examinations (NBE) while conducting the NEET SS 2020, will be not doing any physical frisking including use of handheld metal detectors at the exam centres this year. Meanwhile, temperature checks will be in order at the centres to keep up with the prevention and safety norms during the exam day.

The NatBaord has declared that it will be conducting the Social Distanced - Computer Based Test (SD-CBT) in a safe and secure environment using touch free processes maintaining social distancing norms wherever needed. National Board of Examinations reserves its rights to review the test day processes of conduct of CBT in wake of the changing scenario of COVID-19 pandemic, it further stated.

The major changes concerning the exam day check for NEET SS this year include: Frisking (Body pat as well as HHMD) will not be done while social distancing is in effect and all candidates will be checked at the entry point for fever with the thermo guns. In case, any candidate is observed to be having above normal temperature (> 99.14 Degree F) or displaying any symptoms of COVID-19 infection, he/she will be allowed to take the examination in a separate isolation lab.
