Is the NEET Syllabus reduced for 2021?
National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is an entrance exam conducted for admissions to BDS, BSMS, MBBS, BAMS, BHMS, and BUMS. Owing to the pandemic the Class 12th Board exams were cancelled, and considering the COVID scenario, the NEET exams are also postponed to avoid the spread of the disease. Now the NEET 2021 is scheduled to be held on September 12. However, the board has derived a new marking system and is going to declare the grades of the students for Class 12.
With the changes in the dates and the ongoing pandemic, the students are confused regarding the syllabus of the entrance exam as it is dependent on the curriculum of classes 11 and 12. Also, owing to the pandemic education has become more virtual than ever before.
