The deadline for submitting the NEET 2022 application has been postponed twice before. This was because of the students' request to delay the exams and hold it in August.
NEET does not have any upper age limit this year. Anyone who has cleared class 12 with subjects like physics, chemistry, mathematics, and biology can appear for the exam.
The exam duration has been increased by 20 minutes. So now NEET will be conducted for 3 hours and 20 minutes. As per the experts, the option of having 20 extra minutes will be a “game changer."
