Last week, a government official said there would be no change in the exam method. The Department of Education asked if the test could be done online and repeated more than once a year. This is because with JEE (Mains) being conducted more than once and proportional aspirations improving in the second attempt, the government demanded that NEET-UG be held more than once a year.

NEET in 2020 was held on September 13 despite opposition in the days that led to the writing of exams in many areas, including students and political parties. It was held in accordance with the principles of COVID-19. A total of 15,97 students enrolled for the exam, Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal said 85-90% of the test results were obtained. The test recorded a qualifying percentage of 56.44%.
