In order to follow the Covid norms and keep the students away from unnecessary contact, physical frisking of the NEET aspirants before entering the exam centre will not be done. Instead, candidates will have to go through a metal detector. In Madhya Pradesh there will be 144 NEET centres this year where 58,860 students will appear.
There were 84 centres last year where 54,445 students had appeared. This year the number of centres in Bhopal has been doubled. Last year, there were 15 exam centres across the state capital.
Several students in Bhopal on Wednesday downloaded their admit cards for the NTA NEET 2020, which is scheduled to be held on September 13.
Like previous years, this year also the majority of the centres in the state capital are in CBSE schools. Some of the exam centres in Bhopal are IES Public School, Red Rose School, Gyan Ganga School, Campion School and Sharda Vidya Mandir. On the condition of anonymity, owner of a school whose school has been made an exam centre told TOI that there will be around 35 centres in Bhopal where 18,000 students are expected to appear. Notably, last year around 12,000 students appeared in 15 centres.
“National testing agency (NTA) has not left a single stone unturned when it comes to the safety of the students appearing for exams at these centres,” said a school owner without quoting his name.
Nearly 16 lakh candidates across the country had registered for the medical-based entrance exam.
Last week, the Supreme Court had refused to entertain a plea seeking the postponement of the entrance exam. However, several political leaders have objected to it and have demanded the cancellation of exams. JEE (Main) will be held from September 1 to 6 and the hall ticket can be download at the website- jeemain.nta.nic.in.
