They also want an investigation into claims that pellets and bullets were fired during earlier protests.
Families affected by the NEET controversy are expected to take part.
AISA says the government has not properly listened to students and ordinary people.
Delhi Police says it has not received an application for the march yet.
AISA says protests should be allowed as a democratic way for people to raise concerns.
