Future doctors and engineers have been studying to make the cut in the best institutes of the country for medial and engineering studies. However, due to coronavirus pandemic, NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) and JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) were postponed. These exams have already been deferred twice in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Now, the examinations are scheduled in September. The matter of postponement and conduction of examination has been trending on twitter and other platforms. While the examinations are must for admissions, risking 28 lakhs walking into examination centres is risky considering coronavirus outspread.
Indoreans are also split in the decision and here is what they say…
“JEE and NEET are important examinations that determine future of children. We have seen the concrete arrangements of the administration and the government, whether it is the 12th exam or Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka Under Graduate Entrance Test (COMEDK UGET) conducted on August 19. The test centres had fewer students, sanitizers and masks were compulsory. With such proper precautions, JEE and NEET can be conducted and must be for student’s future.”

“Keeping all the points in preview, I feel examinations must be conducted. We cannot stop living and for such examinations that decide the future of a child, we cannot just skip them for a year. Parent’s decision and precautions play an essential role in the final decision.”
Akshat Khandelwal
Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies Student
“JEE Mains and NEET are important examinations for admission in IITs and medical colleges at the national level. Involvement of politics in such essential examinations is just unfortunate. Ideally, the decision on examination must be based on opinion of students, parents and academicians. Politically influence on such important exam can ruin the year for students. These examinations help in picking out the best students who further contribute in nation’s development.”

“As per Supreme Court, NEET and JEE will not be postponed further. This year about 28 Lakh students will be appearing for these exam. Parliament is closed, IPL shifted to UAE, schools remain shut, etc. are just some examples of necessary decisions to avoid outspread of coronavirus. However, we want 28 lakh students to gather for these examinations! Government seems less bothered about students and lives as they are considering holding the examinations. Also, students are not mentally prepared to attempt the examination. We need an innovative solution for students, not risk the outspread of coronavirus.”

“I don’t think exams especially JEE and NEET must be conducted this year. Students have not been able to prepare due to coronavirus pandemic. We could risk many lives if we conduct the examinations just for the sake of it. Many people have lost their jobs and this has already affected children’s life.”
Radha Pareek
Company Secretary Student
“JEE-NEET entrance exams shouldn’t be conducted right now. Students are already suffering on many levels including finance, education and fear of corona. Government should postpone entrance exams and consider students’ psychological health. Their future depends on these entrances. Government should wait and conduct these examinations after a couple of months.”

“I am 18 and I know how important time and efforts are. NEET and JEE should be conducted with requisite precautions to control the spread of coronavirus. We cannot afford to let all our efforts go to waste.”
Vivek Khushwah

“A lot of students could not attempt the first JEE main
attempt. We cannot cancel the second attempt, it would dash the hopes of lakhs
of students. We must take precautions and like other examinations, conduct JEE
and NEET as well.”
