New Delhi : Earlier this month, Education Minister had announced an increase in the number of attempts for NEET examination; now, the aspirants have requested the same to him to implement it.

Many students have raised their voices for increasing the number of attempts for the medical examination on social media. Students have asked the minister to conduct NEET examination twice a year.

These students even tried to reach out to Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ on Twitter, urging him to increase the number the attempts for NEET 2021 along the lines of JEE 2021.
