NEET and JEE 2021 Exams to be held on the complete syllabus: Education Ministry

Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal held a live interaction with Kendriya Vidyalaya students today where he clarified that the NEET and JEE 2021 exams will be held on the complete syllabus while the CBSE board exams 2021 for classes 10 and 12 would be held on the basis of the 30% reduced syllabus due to the Covid-19 hardships.

"The students will only have to study the revised syllabus for their CBSE board exams and other state board exams. The questions will only be asked from that portion,” Pokhriyal said during the webinar.

JEE Main 2021 will be held four times this year once each month from February to May, which would give students ample time to fix their older scores if they received low marks.

The February exam will be held between



February 23 and February 26. The registration window for the same is still open and students can apply till January 23.

However, the NEET 2021 exam date is yet to be announced; this is a worrying matter for many as delayed NEET or other entrance exams would delay the admission process for higher studies as well, and especially create problems in foreign institute admissions.

The CBSE board exams 2021 will begin from May 4 to June 10. Students are still awaiting the full CBSE datesheets for both classes 10 and 12. The CBSE results will be announced by July 15.

The education minister said that the schools will officially reopen for classes very soon but the date is yet to be announced. He added that online classes would also be continued alongside.
