POSTPONEMENT of JEE MAINS and NEET

Points put forward by Aspirants:

1) According to the current schedule, there will be 2 shifts on a single day of JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. This leads to a huge crowd outside TCS ion centres.

2) Most states have TCS centres in just 4-5 cities only. With only 1 or 2(rarely) at max in each city. Hence there is always a huge crowd outside exam centres.
SOPs cannot ensure social distancing outside the centres. As many students and their guardians arrive and depart at the same time.

3) The same computer labs, systems, desks, chairs, mouse to be used by many. Effective sanitization is not possible in a gap of 1-2 hours.
Auto sanitization takes at least 24 hours

4) [IMPORTANT] We demand, there should be 1 shift per day whenever JEE Mains and JEE Advanced happens.

5) Wearing mask continuously for 5-6 hours ( 3 hours exam + 2 hours waiting/frisking/registration + 2 hours approx travelling) is impossible.
It leads to suffocation and lack of concentration during exams.
Wearing masks and Spectacles causes mist on it and reduces visibility in the moisture of Rainy days of September.

6) So exams should not be conducted in the rainy season of September. It creates a lot of inconvenience in terms of travelling, carries essential or getting wet before the exam and maintaining social distancing if it rains.

7) We have seen how SOPs have already failed in exams like KEAM, KCET etc and many students and family members were found COVID +ve later. SOPs have failed several times

8) There are lakhs of containment zones in the country as of now and expected to peak in September. Many students have to come out of containment zones amid lockdown for giving exams which are going to be inconvenient for them due to the restrictions, also a health risk for other candidates.

9) SOPs are a myth when there is this huge number of students and emerging evidence of community and airborne transmission, nearly 60k daily cases with a positivity rate of more than 10%.
CDC too has recently confirmed about COVID causing Serious permanent damage to recovered patients too.
So it should be taken lightly and students should not be reduced to statistics.
Each and every life of the 27 Lakh Students ( JEE + NEET) is precious.

10)[ IMPORTANT]
Hence, our demand is JEE and NEET should be POSTPONED until the situation gets better, TCS centres for JEE and NEET centres to be made available in maximum districts to ensure safe travel and social distancing. And also 1 system space ( 6 feet) should be left vacant between 2 students so that removing the mask , on feeling uncomfortable is an option.

HEALTH is much more important than a SEMESTER

A THIRSTY guy doesn’t drink POISON. Govt must wait till situation normalises / conducive. And the COVID graph is on the decline. Probably towards NOVEMBER/DECEMBER.


Should JEE Main or NEET 2020 be postponed ?
