The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released an official circular regarding a fake public notice with the subject line – “Conduct of National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (UG) – 2021” saying that the NTA has not issued any notice declaring NEET 2021 entrance exam to be September 5.
“The fake/unauthorised public notice has been viewed seriously by the NTA, as it is being circulated by some unscrupulous elements with a motive to misguide the aspiring candidates/parents/guardians/public at large. The NTA is still in consultation with the concerned stakeholders for finalising a suitable date for the conduct of NEET (UG) – 2021, keeping in view the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,” the official notice read.
The NTA warned the aspiring candidates of NEET 2021 to not pay heed to fake notices and rely only on the public Notice(s) /information/ dates announced by NTA through its official websites i.e. .nta.ac.in and ntaneet.nic.in only.
It is to be noted that the entrance exam dates for the third and and fourth phases of JEE Main 2021 were announced on Tuesday (July 6) by then Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank after a long wait due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The third phase of JEE Main 2021 will be conducted from July 20 to 25 and the entrance exam for the fourth phase will be held from July 27 to August 2. It may be recalled that the entrance exams of JEE Main 2021 were scheduled to be held in April and May but the National Testing Agency (NTA) decided to postpone these exams due to rising coronavirus cases.
