There was a PIL filed in the Supreme Court earlier this week as a Student wanted an exemption from NEET to study abroad. The case was that the Candidate had secured a seat in a Foreign Medical College and the last date for joining the College was around August 20th. But NEET 2020 has been scheduled for September 13th which means going by the NEET is mandatory rule, she might lose out on the admission. So she reached out to the Supreme Court asking for an exemption from NEET. The Supreme Court has asked MCI and NTA to file in their review petitions. And MCI did respond by stating that the Candidate has never reached out to the MCI first but has filed a PIL in the Supreme Court. The Court has given MCI time to file their answer. And at the point of writing this answer, the matter is still in the Court pending for hearing. And NEET has been only made mandatory for studying MBBS abroad since last year and this is the first case requesting for exemption. And the outcome is yet to be known. So this might be one of the reasons that can be considered when NEET has been postponed than the joining date. But it cannot happen all the time because this is the first time that NEET has been postponed.
