The national eligibility cum entrance test - UG (NEET-UG) may not be conducted twice in 2019 as planned. Also the ministry of human resource development is discussing a proposal of the health ministry to continue with the offline mode at least for 2019.
This would mean, according to a senior HRD official, “status quo for the undergraduate medical entrance test in 2019 with no change.”
Nearly a month ago the HRD minister Prakash Javadekar announced the ambitious plan to conduct the medical/ dental entrance along with the joint entrance examination (JEE) — main, for engineering twice a year by the newly formed national testing agency (NTA).
It was also announced that all the exams to be conducted by NTA would be computer based. The ministry also announced the tentative dates for the exams, according to which NEETUG was scheduled for February 2019 with a repeat on May 2019.
According to reliable sources, under pressure from the health ministry, MHRD is “reconsidering the decision to conduct NEET twice in 2019. Also the health ministry has proposed to continue the test on pen-paper mode in 2019.”
