There are reports that the Union government is thinking of fixing another date for conducting NEET for students in States that were hit by cyclone Fani.  PTI

Expressing concern over more than 600 students being unable to write NEET which has resulted in their future hanging in balance, All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) has urged the Union government to give another opportunity to these students to write the examination.

N. Pramod, president of State AIDSO, in a press release, said that 600 students from North Karnataka could not appear for NEET due to the delayed arrival of Hampi Express and also due to a last-minute shifting of an exam venue in Bengaluru which has become a matter of grave concern for students. Citing reports that the Union government was contemplating fixing another date for conducting NEET for students of States that were hit by cyclone Fani, he demanded that students who could not write the exam in Bengaluru on Sunday, that too for no fault of theirs, should be given another chance by conducting NEET on the same date to be announced for students in States hit by the cyclone.

Comparing the entrance exams conducted by the State earlier, which was going on smoothly, he said that after National Testing Agency (NTA) began conducting the exams, it had given room for one confusion or the other, apart from exhibiting its un-preparedness.

Under these circumstances, the students who were deprived of an opportunity to write NEET exam on Sunday should be given another chance not only in the interest of justice but also keeping in view their future, he reiterated.
