On the other hand, NEET UG was held on September 13 in 2020 and the answer key was released on September 27, 2020 i.e. within 15 days.
Students are also anxious and under huge stress as unless the NEET 2022 Result declaration will also be put on hold unless the answer keys are published.
Consequently, NEET UG Counselling conducted for First Year Admission in different Medical Courses, including MBBS, BDS, BUMS, BHMS, BAMS and others, will also be delayed.
