Postpone JEE, NEET 2020: Students Start Online Campaign, Demand Shift In Entrance Exams
The Joint Entrance Examination Main, or JEE Main 2020, is scheduled to be held from September 1 to September 6, 2020, and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate, or NEET 2020, is scheduled on September 13.
New Delhi: On the same day when the Supreme Court of India heard pleas against the UGC guidelines, students across India started the #PostponeJEE_NEETSept social media campaign demanding postponement of the engineering and medical entrance exams. The Joint Entrance Examination Main, or JEE Main 2020 , is scheduled to be held from September 1 to September 6, 2020, and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate, or NEET 2020, is scheduled on September 13.
Though the student demands regarding postponement of NEET 2020 and JEE Main 2020 are rising high, no change in the schedule of the two entrance exams has been announced by the National Testing Agency (NTA), the conducting body of the two entrance exams; or the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) which is set to be renamed as the Ministry of Education (MoE).
The Supreme Court on Friday asked the centre to clarify its stand on final year exam and adjourned the matter till August 10. Soon after the top court’s decision, engineering and medical aspirants started “postpone JEE 2020” and “postpone NEET 2020” demands on social media.
“Exams in any form are a threat during this Covid-19 outbreak. We reject (the) discriminatory mode of education in toto” Sandeep Saurav, National General Secretary of the All India Students' Association (AISA), said on social media.

With India crossing the 16 lakh benchmark in number of corona cases, govt wants to conduct exams instead of trying to put a full stop to the pandemic.
