Medical entrance exam NEET-UG which was postponed in Manipur in view of the law-and-order situation will now be conducted on any date between June 3 to 5, National Testing Agency (NTA) announced on May 26.
CUET-UG will be conducted in the State from June 5 to 8 and the postgraduate entrance test CUET-PG from June 5 to 17, the NTA also said.
“NTA has carefully reviewed the law-and-order situation in consultation with the state administration of Manipur and the state government has decided to offer exam centre to the candidates for NEET-UG, CUET-UG and CUET-PG,” said Sadhana Parashar, senior director of NTA.
“The option to change the city for examination is also available to those candidates in Manipur who have not appeared or missed NEET-UG, CUET-UG due to the law-and- order situation, irrespective whether they had downloaded their admit cards or not for these examinations,” she added.
Manipur has witnessed violence over a move to grant scheduled tribe status to the majority Metei community in the State. Naga and Kuki tribals who are opposing this plan organised a 'Tribal Solidarity March' after which clashes broke.
While NEET-UG was conducted across the country on May 7, CUET-UG began on May 21.

After being repeatedly disrupted for three consecutive days over issues ranging from the Governor’s address and alleged disrespect to the national anthem to demands for the resignation of the Excise Minister, among others, normalcy finally returned to the Legislative Council on Friday, with proceedings commencing.
