Following the successful conduct of the JEE Main 2020 exam from 1st to 6th Sept, the demand to hold NEET 2020 exam also in similar format has gained momentum. In total around 9 lakh candidates had appeared for JEE Main 2020 engineering entrance exam. This ensured social distancing and other guidelines are followed properly. For NEET 2020, around 15.67 lakh candidates are expected to appear for the exam on the same day i.e. on 13th Sept 2020.
