The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for admission into medicine is likely to be held twice a year from 2021, according to reports. Vineet Joshi, director, National Testing Agency was quoted saying by an English daily that plans for this change are still at a preliminary state.
The NTA is mulling on it after requests from students as well as teachers. “We have received lots of communication from the students and teachers across the country and are, therefore, thinking of conducting it twice a year, like the JEE Main,” Joshi told the newspaper.
With the formation of NTA in 2018, NEET was supposed to be conducted twice a year in online mode. However, that decision was never implemented because of logistical limitations.
The NTA is all set to conduct the entrance exam for the MBBS/BDS courses in India — National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for undergraduate courses on May 3, 2020 (Sunday).
While the NTA NEET 2020 registration will begin on December 2, the last date of registration is December 31.
