Hello aspirant,

I hope that you are doing absolutely fine.

The NTA ( National Testing agency) has not yet announced the official dates for NEET examination 2022 to commence. But it is likely to be commenced form 1st of May 2022. The dalay in the exam is primarily due to two reasons :

1. due to the present covid scenario.

2. Due to the delay in the counselling process for the NEET 2021 examination.

However, you can keep on checking the official website of the NEET to keep youself updated about the exam and for the other news as well :

https://neet.nta.nic.in/

But, i would suggest you to stop focusing on the dates from which neet 2022 exam will held, rather you should be focusing more on how to prepare and complete the syllabus for that exam. Prepare some strategy before the exam.

If you want some preparation tips and strategy that is also followed by the toppers and experts, then you can follow the below link : https://medicine.careers360.com/articles/revision-strategy-for-neet

I hope that this will help.

Hello Munee

It is quite expected that since everything is returning back to the pre Covid scenario due to the rampant vaccination, the exam will be held as is customary on 1 May 2022. However, due to the excessive delay in NEET UG counseling due to an impending Supreme Court decision, the dates may be deferred to July or later months too. We advice you to consider May 1 as the deadline and work accordingly. Hope that helped. All the best
