This was the situation during KEAM exam in Kerala. The same situation will be there during JEE & NEET exams. Social distancing???? pic.twitter.com/aHB4MOVS6v— Aryan Bijoria (@aryan_bijoria29) July 28, 2020
Exams were not conducted in a single place, students need to travel a lot.
Moreover students in Containment zones can’t travel to other places due to lack of transport. There’s a high chance of spreading virus.#PostponeJEE_NEETinCovid— Anulekha Boosa (@anulekhaboosa) July 28, 2020
And a lot more.
Since COVID Cases are still on the rise, voice of #postponementofJEE and NEET is getting louder and louder again.
From a focused student’s point of view this is such a chaotic situation. Though unprecedented.
