The sudden rise in Covid-19 cases in the second wave made 11 states shut down their schools as of now and declare lockdowns in varying effects.
Due to the mobility issues created due to this, the NEET candidates were under a lot of pressure as many had their NEET exam centres in neighboring states instead of their home state.
