No Change In NEET UG 2023 Schedule, Exam to be Held Once a Year, NTA Confirms Through RTI Reply

However, the National Testing Agency (NTA) recently confirmed that the NEET UG 2023 exam will be conducted only once a year. The news grabbed attention after the agency responded to a Right to Information (RTI) filed by a student activist.

“No NEET twice in a year, #NEET 2 times in a year was a good option for aspirants but the government doesn’t want to help NEET UG aspirants,” reads a tweet by RTI Activist Vivek Pandey. He also added a screenshot of the NTA response in which the management has stated that there is no change in the decision of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) regarding the number of times the NEET (UG) is to be conducted in a year. “Henceforth, the information sought is not available,” read the full reply by the agency.

As per the latest updates, the NEET UG 2023 will be held only once a year, and this year, it will be conducted on May 7.
