Please take this case seriously.
About 25-30L kids have enrolled for NEET & JEE in September.
With KCET being followed with minimal norms, it’s very risky to conduct national level entrance exams— Arindam Roychoudhury (@ArindamRoycho14) July 31, 2020

Centres are very less for Computer Based Exam, 3-4 in max states

Public health foundation of India and several reports are suggesting that peak of Covid-19 in India will come in mid September. Risking lives of students during the peak of epidemic is not a smart decision at all. @nsui demands #NoExamsInCovid.#PostponeJEE_NEETSept pic.twitter.com/VKSwh7IwMn

Health system is much worse in india & peak is yet to come. But unfortunately our government wants to conduct NEET & JEE exams in the month of september. if the exam was to be taken in such condition, why did they postpone when cases were competitively less? #PostponeJEE_NEETSept

SOP guidelines should be applied and tested by the ones who formulated it. Shouldn’t be imposed on us. We never volunteered for it.
Seeing the failure of state exams, we don’t want to try it either. #PostponeJEE_NEETSept @HRDMinistry @DG_NTA @DrRPNishank @MoHFW_INDIA @PMOIndia
