The government of Rajasthan decided to add 300 new MBBS seats in the state medical colleges. The government focused on developing the health infrastructure of the state by developing new medical colleges. Vaibhav Galaria, Secretary of Medical Education, Rajasthan said that the construction of three new medical colleges in Rajasthan state is in progress. Our target is to complete all these colleges from the starting of a new session.
These three medical colleges are to be built in Ganganagar, Chittorgarh, and Dholpur cities of Rajasthan state. The 300 seats in MBBS are to be increased after the starting of these colleges. For this, the government officials organized a meeting on Saturday and officially informed us that we are going to increase 300 seats in the MBBS course and the three new medical colleges will start from the next session. This decision of the Rajasthan Government will strengthen the health infrastructure of the state.
In this meeting, Sri Ganganagar MLA Rajkumar Gaur was also present. He said that this is a revolutionary decision of the Rajasthan government and the government is ready to give more funds for this project through state government funds and MLA funds also. It will be proven as a boon for the health policy of the state. After starting these colleges the public can avail the health facilities easily and other medical facilities would also increase through this. He said that these medical colleges would have all the facilities and equipment to avail for the public at a minimum cost. He also said if the allotted fund will-less I will give the extra fund from MLA funds.
As per the Times of India report, Medical Education Commissioner Shiwangi Swarnkar said that the inspection will be done by respected officials before starting these new colleges. He said that the inspection will be done in April month before starting a new session. The new session will start in May month. These colleges will provide new opportunities to the medical aspirants to get admission in these colleges and to make their bright career in the profession of a doctor.
To get admission to these medical colleges, candidates need to crack the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) exam to secure a seat in their desired college. The online admission counseling is to be done based on the score in NEET (UG) exam. The seats are allotted to candidates and they need to report to the allotted institutes to get admission. Rajasthan state offers a total of 3683 MBBS seats to get admission in various medical colleges in Rajasthan state.
It’s a very good decision of the Rajasthan government appreciated by the public and students also. It provides strength to the health infrastructure of the state. The increase in seats provides opportunities to those students who don’t get admission to medical colleges with fewer marks. This will save your time to prepare again for the exam and they also fulfill their dream by getting admission to their dream institute.

COVID-19 Cases Are Declining, But Will NEET 2021 Be Postponed Further?
As per the schedule released by NTA, NEET 2021 is scheduled to be conducted on August 1. The situation created by the pandemic has brought us to the question of the exam postponing this year again.
Though the exam schedule has been released, NTA has not yet released the notification for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2021. The application process and other details will be announced on the official website ntaneet.nic.in in the coming days. However, as per reports, there are chances of NEET 2021 being postponed due to the surge in COVID-19 cases throughout the country. Recently, the Prime Minister’s Office took the decision to postpone NEET PG till 31 August, 2021. However, no decision has been taken on NEET UG. As per the last official notice, NEET 2021 will be conducted on August 1, 2021 (Sunday).
Pen and Paper Mode Needs To Change?
The notice stated that NEET 2021 will be conducted in Pen and Paper Mode in 11 languages. However, amid the recent rises in COVID-19 cases, this method of examination is questionable. The Information Bulletin with detailed information on Eligibility Criteria, Syllabus, Examination Fees, Exam Centres, etc. will be announced soon.
NEET UG 2021: Will it be Postponed?
Last year, NEET UG was conducted on September 13, 2020. The second phase of the exam was conducted on October 14, 2020 for the students who either stayed in containment zones or were themselves infected by the virus. The situation this year is also similar, or considerably worse than last year. This has posed the question of postponement of the exam again this year.
Some other exams like JEE Main (April and May session), NEET PG 2021, Class XII board exams, UPSC CSE (Prelims) have already been postponed in light of the second wave of the pandemic. If the situation worsens, there are chances that NTA might postpone NEET UG 2021 too.
However, it must be kept in mind that NEET 2021 is scheduled for August 1, 2021, which is already quite late. So candidates must keep their preparation on track and rely only on official notice released on the website. Until any official communication about the postponement is conveyed, students must consider August 1 as the final date. Do check out some important topics for NEET UG 2021.

NEET 2021: Health Ministry Says ‘Yes’ to Twice a Year Format for the Exam
There was a bit of confusion with whether NEET 2021 to be conducted twice this year. But now, all this confusion has subsided with the declaration of the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare recently. According to them, NEET 2021 will be conducted twice and will be conducted on the lines of JEE Main Exam 2021.However, the schedule of the examination is not finalised yet.
NEET 2021: Why will it be conducted twice?
The Health Ministry officials recently met with their counterparts from the Education Ministry and the National Testing Agency. Various issues were discussed on – Online and Offline modes of the NEET 2021 exam and multiple sessions.
A senior official in the medical education department of the Health Ministry said – “While we felt that a large number of NEET aspirants still may not be ready for appearing in the examination in online mode, there is now a consensus on conducting the test twice this year”.
If NEET 2021 is conducted twice a year, it will allow the aspirants to be ranked on the basis of the best score out of two attempts. The same format has been followed in the JEE Main exam since last year. According to a NTA official, this format of NEET 2021 exam will destress the students and will allow them to improve upon their last score.
Last week, Mr. Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank during an interview to a TV channel, had confirmed that officials from the Education and Health Ministry had a lengthy meeting on the various issues faced by the students. They discussed the topic of NEET to be conducted twice in a year.
NEET is usually conducted in the first week of May every year. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was delayed till September last year.
