NEET 2021 Admit Card: Allotted Far Off Centres, Claim Medical Aspirants

On Monday, September 6, the National Testing Agency (NTA) released the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) 2021 admission cards on its official website, ntaneet.nic.in. Many applicants who obtained the NEET UG 2021 admit card stated that they were assigned to centres that were far away. The test will take place on September 12th.

According to the candidates, the NEET 2021 exam date clashes with a number of other state-level entrance examinations, and they have now been assigned centres that are far away, placing them in a tough situation.

A student’s father from Pune, Manish Deshmukh told Hindustan Times that the centre allotted to his son is was 105 km away from home. He informed the portal that their first and second preferences were Pune City and Navi Mumbai, respectively, however, they’ve been allotted a centre in Baramati which is quite far from their place. “It is a nuisance. We have decided to reach Baramati a day ahead of the exams to avoid any rush, especially since it is festival season. I’ll have to spend on our stay for the night as well,” he said.

Another applicant, who is from Nashik, has been allotted a centre in Shirdi, which is about 95 km far. Many other students have also reported that their centres were farther than what they had preferred. While Covid-19 has already affected the students’ preparation and put them in uncountable uncertainties, they should have a calm mind before the exam, says the parents.

Keeping in view the issue raised by aspirants, Vineet Joshi, director-general at NTA, had stated that candidates unhappy with their centres can write to the agency, and depending on the merit of the case, some adjustments can be made to accommodate the students. He also said that almost 99 per cent of candidates were asked to take the test from their first preferred centre.
