COVID-19 Pandemic: With COVID-19 cases surging in India, there is a possibility that the NEET UG 2023 exam might be postponed to ensure the safety of the students.
Clash with Board Exams: Despite the authority's efforts to avoid any clash with the Board exams, the class 12th Board exams for some states will be over by April 2023, leaving very little time for some NEET 2023 aspirants to prepare properly.
Conflict with JEE: Aspiring for both JEE and NEET exams might be challenging for many students, leading to a preparation time deficiency and forcing them to choose one over the other.
Less Time for Preparation: NEET UG counselling for the All India Quota and state quota concluded in December 2022, leaving only four months for the dropouts to prepare for NEET 2023, which might not be enough.
City Intimation Slip: With NEET 2023 aspirants still waiting for an update on the city intimation slip, they are still unable to make travel and accommodation plans to sit for the exam.

However, sources from NTA, which conducts the NEET UG exam, have not indicated any chances of NEET UG 2023 postponement. As per the current schedule, the exam is all set to take place on May 7, 2023. The admit card as well as NEET UG 2023 City Intimation Slip will be out any moment now.
