NEET 2023 notification by March; exam likely in May

The next entrance exam for admission to MBBS and BDS courses for the academic year 2023-24 will be held in May. According to reports, the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2023 is expected to be held precisely on the first Sunday of May 2023. This year too, the exam will be held once a year despite the demands from students to hold the medical entrances twice a year.

In 2021, the medical entrance was held in September. In 2022, it was held on July 17, in 2021 it was conducted on September 12. In 2020, the exam will be held on September 13.  Before the pandemic, the exam used to be held in May. Therefore, NTA is expected to go back to its pre-pandemic schedule.

Since most state and central boards have moved back to 100 per cent syllabus and classes are being held in-person, the exam is unlikely to have relaxations.
