While the application forms can be submitted till May 15, the payment for the application can be submitted till 11:50 pm on the same date, as per the latest notice.
With the application deadline extending, students demanding postponement of the exam are hopeful that this might lead to further delay. While the NTA has not yet made any announcement regarding exam date, there has been a demand from students who claim they do not have enough time to prepare for the test. Medical aspirants want NEET to be held in August. Since JEE Main has been deferred multiple times and NEET has only one attempt, students claim that they too should be given this facility.
