The Deccan Chronicle has reported that Sanyam Bhardwaj, joint secretary, CBSE, had communicated the date to all exam boards to avoid a clash of dates with NEET. The notification, to be issued before January 30, will have more details.

Last week, the CBSE denied reports of a change in the syllabus of NEET 2018.
