The admit card for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) will not be issued on March 27, 2020, as written in the National Testing Agency prospectus. As per the latest report of the sources, due to the nationwide lockdown issued by the government, DG NTA has also postponed the release of NEET Admit Card. New dates are likely to be announced after the lockout.
Everyone is advised to check the examination schedule on the official website ntaneet.nic.in as well as the admit card of NEET for the latest updates for the NEET 2020 exam. Further, even if the agency does not postpone the examination, the admit cards can only be issued after April 15, after the schedule of other examinations has been released.
It may be noted that in 2016 and 2017, NEET was held in the month of June. Dates were withheld to ensure that the counseling process was carried out smoothly and on time. Experts suggest that even though due to unavoidable circumstances, NEET 2020 is held in June, the admission process can still be completed on time to ensure no loss of the academic year.
