'Postpone JEE Main And NEET 2020'

The JEE Main and NEET examinations are extremely critical in the career of students that decide the future life of students. Currently, people are engaged in combating the century disaster (COVID-19) that affected millions. The conduct of JEE Main and NEET examinations would require public transport and hospitality units because of the movement of a large number of students and their parents/guardians. Hence, many students and their parents demand to defer the examinations until the situation is conducive again.
