The syllabus of NEET Exam is recommended by the Medical Council of India (MCI) and is conducted by CBSE. Basically, this Exam is to establish uniformity in Medical Education across the country. The scores of NEET Exam are used as an eligibility criteria for admissions into medical and dental courses.

NTA, the Ministry of Education, and even the Prime Minister have been requested to delay the exam date by NEET UG 2022 applicants, but the exam administrators have not yet responded. The NEET 2022 is anticipated to take place on the designated date and time.

Conflicting exam dates with CUET and other competitive entrance exams, as well as a lack of time for NEET preparation, are only a few of the reasons behind this desire. In order to find out the status of the NEET 2022 delay, a number of students and campaigners filed RTIs with the NTA.
