This had brought things to a grinding halt in many sectors. Education is one of them. Host of popular exams were postponed, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)’s 10th and 12th were among them.

The basic exams must be conducted first, 10th and 12th exams must be held, 12th exams are of more importance as of now as a pass in them is a must for the candidates to take part in JEE Main NEET 2020.

It is not only 12th and 10th exams of CBSE, but also even state boards have to complete their 12th and 10th exams. If exams are to be conducted without clashes of dates, it can mean further postponement.

The prospects for UGC NET 2020 also are the same. The qualification for this exam is master’s degree, with many universities yet to conduct their exams for graduate or post graduate courses, and if these examinations are not conducted in a timely manner post lock down, UGC NET 2020 can also witness further postponement, says T. Satish Kumar, a lecturer in Indian History.

However, there is still a ray of hope, says K.S. Ramkumar, Maths faculty at an IIT coaching institute. ‘It all depends upon ending the lock down.’ If the current stand still comes to an end by April, the prospects of conducting exams as per right schedules still exist.

If it is supposed that complete lock down is lifted by end of April or early May, board exams can be conducted and their results can be declared before 15 June. Admit cards can likely be issued with regards to JEE Main NEET 2020 also by about end of May.

Post this scenario, even JEE Advanced exam also can be expected by end of June, results can be expected by July. Counselling and other admission process can begin by August. A lot of things like exam evaluation have to be fast tracked, reminds Ramkumar.

Even if the prospects haven’t turned dull for timely conducting of JEE Main NEET 2020 as of now, but lot of other things are also expected for students.
