The medical entrance test NEET UG has been postponed due to violent clashes and law-and-order situation. The fresh dates will be announced soon by the exam conducting body NTA. This decision comes after the state Education Minster BJP MP from Manipur, Dr Rajkumar Ranjan Singh urged for postponement. “I had requested them to postpone the exam, in the current situation. New date of exam will be fixed. 5751 candidates were scheduled to appear at the two centres in Manipur,” Ranjan told ANI.
A total of 20,87,449 students have applied for the NEET UG 2023 which will be held on May 7. Unlike JEE Main, NEET UG is held offline and once in a year. Due to the current situation in Manipur, NEET UG 2023 will not be held in the exam centres in Manipur on May 7. However, the fresh dates for the entrance test for the affected candidates will be released later by the NTA.
