NEET exam centres 2020 has been announced based on the trends of past years primarily revolving around the number of applications received and the final applicants’ list. NTA reserves the right to not allot any exam centre for a particular city if the number of candidates that opt for a city is less than a bare minimum. Also, aspirants need to make note that if the total number of candidates that opt for a city as an exam centre is less than a minimum count, with the preference of language being a regional language apart from Hindi and English, then in this scenario, candidates may be alloted an exam centre in another city regardless of the city opted by the candidates in order to appear for the NEET exams. This measure will be adapted only after every effort and step is observed to organize an exam centre in one of the cities specified by candidates as the NTA holds the right to allot a NEET exam centre other than the candidate’s choice.
