Just like CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams 2021 and several other exams, the entrance exams for NEET UG 2021 and JEE Main 2021 were also cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic in the country. It is expected that the improvement in COVID-19 situation will allow the National Testing Agency (NTA) to soon announce the entrance exam dates for JEE Main 2021 and NEET 2021. Though the NTA is yet to make any official announcement regarding the JEE Main 2021 and NEET 2021 entrance exam dates, it is expected that JEE Main 2021 entrance exam would be held in July-August and NEET 2021 entrance exam would be conducted in September. According to a report in news agency PTI, the Education Ministry is planning to conduct pending editions of engineering entrance exam JEE-Mains in July and August while the medical entrance exam NEET can be shifted to September. The CBSE has now opted for a different marking system to finalise the CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2021 results.
