Confirmed: NEET 2019 is going to be conducted only once again in offline mode as before.

A bad news for all the PMT aspirants who were going to appear in NEET 2019.
NEET 2019 will be conducted by NTA but not twice a year. It will be again held in offlinemode as before.

Health ministry pointed out some defects in the decision of HRD Ministry and asked to conduct NEET in offline mode as before till 2019.
Following issues were pointed out:
1. Rural students finding it difficult to give computer based test.
2. 16 shifts a year means question bank will get exhausted early and there will be difficulty in preparing new questions always.
3. Lack of computer exam centres for large number of students.

Now on 21st August, NTA has released the official routine for conduct of examinations in 2019, in which NEET is scheduled to be conducted only once and that too in offline pen and paper mode.

NEET 2019 form available: 1st November to 30th November.
NEET 2019 admit card: 15 April
NEET 2019 exam date: 5 May
NEET 2019 result: 5 June.

This is really not a good decision because many coachings and all students have updated their routine and class schedule keeping NTA NEET in mind. Now they will have to again make new strategies and new tensions for them as they were hopeful for selection with NEET being held twice a year.

Now coachings will design new routines and schedule creating confusions for aspirants.
Many students might have joined online test series for NTA NEET. Now they will have to again spend their money for offline tests.
This all happened because of irresponsiblity of our government in taking confirmed decisions at a time; which keeps students tensed and their future ruined.

All we can say is "The NEET drama begins".
