Claiming that the current National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) dates are causing them a lot of stress, medical aspirants across India are calling for the postponement of the entrance exam. Students want NEET UG 2022 to be held in August. After a series of online protests, a section of students launched an online petition demanding a postponement.
