NTA also shared that NEET (Graduate) 2021 for admission in MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BSMS, BUMS and BHMS courses will be conducted in an offline medium on 1 August.
Last year, around 15.97 lakh candidates had registered for NEET, out of which 14.37 lakh appeared for the examination on 13 September despite the menace of the COVID-19 pandemic being at its prime in the country.
It should be noted though that the candidates from containment zones were not able to appear for the examination on the said date, and were therefore given another chance on 14 October. As a result, the results of the examination were delayed as well.
