The application deadline for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2022 has been extended again by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The application, which was supposed to close on May 15, 2022, has now been extended up to May 20 on the request of the Director-General of the Armed Forces Medical Services. The NEET-UG 2022 exam has been scheduled for July 15.
