Students claim that they will not get adequate time to prepare. Some students also took to social media blogging site to demand change in NEET 2022 exam dates. Candidates claim that as NTA has postpend the engineering entrance exam JEE Main despite having two chances a year at JEE, then NTA should also postpone NEET, considering there is only one chance at taking the medical entrance exam.

Is @DG_NTA dumb they are giving extension to jee candidates despite of having multiple attempts whereas NEET ug aspirants get only one. Also between boards and neet there is a gap of only 1 month. This cant be justified.There must be an extension of 1 month. #postponeneetug2022— Siddharth Kumar⚡ (@siddharthkr04) April 7, 2022

Some candidates also highlighted that several other exams including CUET and JEE mains are clashing, which is why NTA should consider postponing of the exam.
