NTA JEE Main 2020 | JEE Advanced | NTA NEET 2020
According to a latest development, today one Supreme Court (SC) lawyer Alakh Alok Srivastava has submitted a request to the PMO seeking postponement of JEE Main 2020, JEE Advanced 2020 and NEET 2020 exam dates. All these exams are scheduled to be held in September 2020.
Srivastava said in his letter that the JEE and NEET examinations that will be held in September 2020 should be postponed. He added that if it is not possible to postpone it, then students who are unable to give these entrance exams in September must be given a chance to appear at a later stage.
Earlier on 17th August 2020, the honorable Supreme Court had dismissed pleas made by some parents to postpone JEE Main 2020 and NEET 2020 exams saying that postponement of JEE and NEET will put students' careers in peril. JEE Main 2020 is to be held online from September 1 to 6 while NEET 2020 for admission to undergraduate medical courses is slated to be held offline on September 13 across 161 exam centres in India.
Approximately 1 million students appear JEE Main examinations every year and even this year about 9,35,000 students have registered for JEE Main 2020 while close to 1.5 million students register every year for NEET to seek admission into undergraduate courses at medical colleges. This may be mentioned here that only about 12,000 seats are available across IITs whereas, only 50,000 odd seats are available for MBBS.
