Scam surfaces in 2018 NEET; medico held 

Youth engaged a proxy to write the exam in Hindi at Gaya 

27/02/2020 , S. Vijay Kumar , CHENNAI

The CB-CID is already investigating a scam in the 2019 NEET, conducted by the National Testing Agency, in which 16 persons, including 7 medicos, have been arrested.

The Crime Branch CID of the Tamil Nadu police on Wednesday arrested a second-year medico on the charge of fraudulently securing admission in the Madras Medical College (MMC) by paying ₹20 lakh to a broker.

The suspect engaged a proxy to write the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) held at Gaya in Bihar in 2018 to get the seat.

Acting on a complaint lodged by the MMC Dean suspecting foul play in the admission of D. Dhanush Kumar, 20, a special team of the CB-CID called for documents from CBSE, which conducted the test that year, and found that the student had engaged a proxy writer. His father K. Devendra had paid ₹20 lakh to facilitate the fraud.

Investigation revealed that Kumar joined a coaching centre in Bengaluru to prepare for NEET. He was approached by a broker who promised to get him seat by arranging the proxy. After paying an advance of ₹3 lakh, he followed the instructions on how to fill the application and other formalities.

Hindi medium

Kumar, a native of Hosur in Tamil Nadu, opted for Gaya as the examination centre and also chose to write the examination in Hindi. He “cleared” NEET with a good score and got into MMC, which is usually the first choice of toppers in the State.

“His score in Plus-Two was very poor. Had the staff/invigilators at the examination centre verified the photograph in the hall ticket and the person who appeared for the examination, the fraud could have been detected on the spot. Kumar is said to have failed in some subjects in first year MBBS,” a CB-CID official told The Hindu.

Manhunt on

After ensuring that he got a good score in NEET, Kumar and his father paid the balance of ₹17 lakh to the broker.

“Efforts are on to apprehend the broker who is a native of Bengaluru. There seems to be no link between Rashid, the prime suspect in the 2019 NEET scam, and the suspects in the 2018 NEET scam.

Kumar is not able to confirm whether like him more students engaged proxy writers but the modus operandi points to a suspicion that more students would have been involved in the scam,” the official said.

When investigators questioned Kumar about his ability to write NEET in Hindi, the suspect, who initially refused to cooperate, later confessed that he had no knowledge of Hindi and opted the centre and language going by the instructions of the broker. Kumar and his father were arrested and remanded to judicial custody. Police were trying to locate the proxy writer in Gaya.

The CB-CID is already investigating a scam in the 2019 NEET, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), in which 16 persons, including 7 medicos, were arrested on charges of impersonation and cheating.

The police have written to the National Medical Commission, Director-General of Health Services, Unique Identification Authority of India and others to zero-in on the proxy writers who appeared for the accused persons in different centres.

PIL seeks to revoke ineligible admissions of 5 med students
Scored Below Minimum Pass Marks Of 119

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Chennai:08.09.2019

Almost a year after admission to MBBS course was completed in the state for the academic year 2018-19, a PIL has been moved in the Madras high court seeking to revoke such admission of five students who scored less than 119 (minimum eligibility) in NEET-2018 through management quota.

Admitting the plea moved by Rajendran Chingaravelu of Pudukottai, a division bench of Justices M Sathyanarayanan and N Seshasayee ordered notice to the directorate of medical education (DME) returnable by September 26.

According to the petitioner, MCI regulations mandate that every candidate seeking admission to MBBS secure minimum marks in the NEET fixed by the authorities every year.

The rules make it clear that no candidate who has failed to obtain the minimum eligibility marks shall be admitted to MBBS course in the said academic year.

The minimum NEET marks fixed for the academic year 2018-19 was 119. However, bypassing the minimum eligibility, PSG Medical College, Coimbatore and SRM, Trichy have admitted a total of five students who scored less than 119 in NEET, petitioner’s counsel PVS Gridhar said.

A reply to an RTI query made by the petitioner revealed that more than 170 MBBS seats allotted under NRI quota were left unfilled till the last day of counselling for MBBS in 2018 which was also not published in the website nor notified.

Subsequent to the counselling, the unfilled NRI seats were allowed to be converted as management quota seats which can be filled by the colleges themselves.

It is under such seats all the five students who scored less than 119 were admitted, he alleged.

The petitioner claimed that such admissions are made in violation of law with impunity and making unjust gain depriving legitimate meritorious candidates of seats leading to deterioration of quality of medical education by admitting unqualified candidates thereby endangering health and life of ordinary citizens.

 

Crucial File on New NEET Norms, Which Enrich Private Colleges, Goes Missing

A crucial file at the Medical Council of India establishes why admission criteria were changed from percentage to percentile. The file is now untraceable.

Government Health19/Jan/2019

New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government’s decision to change medical and dental admission criteria from percentage to percentile had allowed less meritorious to get into colleges. It also enriched private medical and dental colleges, as richer students who were declared qualified bought the seats that were available.

However, it now looks like the file pertaining to that decision is missing.

‘File not traceable’

The Medical Council of India has stated in response to an RTI query that the crucial file pertaining to this decision was not traceable. The petition was filed in early December 2018 by lawyer-activist Dev Ashish Bhattacharya.

Through the plea, he asked for copies of “file notings, notesheets and correspondences, from initiation to the finalisation, through which the decision was taken to change the percentage system to percentile system for determining the merit of the candidates for selection into the medical and dental colleges through NEET.”

 The petitioner also asked if any change was incorporated in the provisions of the Medical Council Act for effecting the change from percentage to percentile system.

In its response, dated December 19, the “Board of Governors in Supersession of Medical Council of India” stated that “since the file regarding change from percentage to percentile system is not traceable, hence the information/ documents cannot be provided.”

Police complaint insists file “intentionally misplaced”

Bhattacharya wrote to Delhi police commissioner Amulya Patnaik on January 14 demanding that a First Information Report be registered for “investigating and tracing untraceable government files at the office of the Medical Council of India as it concerns greater national interest.”

Making a mention of the RTI application filed with the MCI and the response received, the RTI activist said he “apprehends that the file concerned has been intentionally misplaced to prevent passing of information to the complainant about various illegality and irregularities being conducted to for determining the merit of candidates for selection into the medical colleges and dental colleges through NEET”.

He also stated that “as the concerned file is a government property it should be traced in the national interest.”

Demanding that the Delhi police register an FIR to bring the culprits to book as per the law, the lawyer-activist also demanded that the custodian of the files be identified and the files be reconstructed by collecting the documents from concerned departments.

`Percentile system gave admission to non-meritorious students’

The petition is significant because the introduction of the percentile system, which was supposed to keep non-meritorious students out, allegedly facilitated their entry into medical and dental colleges.

This was reflected in the admissions made through the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). Till admission year 2015, the cut-off for admission was 50% for general category students and 40% for reserved category students.

 With NEET being implemented from 2016, the cut off was changed to 50 percentile and 40 percentile for general and reserved category students respectively. This meant that the top 50% of all general category students and top 40% of all reserved category students became eligible for admission even if their marks were lower than 50% and 40% respectively.

After NEET, qualifying marks dropped consistently

So while till 2015, general category students needed to score at least 360 marks out of 720 to qualify, from 2016 onwards this requirement dropped drastically.

In 2016, the 50th percentile cut-off dropped to 148. This meant that even students scoring just 20.8% marks out of the maximum of 720 made the cut. In the case of reserved category, the 40th percentile requirement brought the cut off down to 118 marks or just 16.3% marks.

In 2017, the qualification marks dropped further to 131 or 18.2% for the general category and 107 or 107 or 14.8% for the reserved category.

In 2018, the pass marks decreased further to 119 or 16.5% for the general category and to 96 or 13.33% for the reserved category students.
 

Percentile system ensured a windfall for private colleges

The change to the percentile system has been criticised by academics and educationists. They insist that the system allowed non-meritorious students to pursue medical education to the peril of those they may treat in the future.

Moreover, with the total available seats being just about 60,000 across India and the number of students qualifying for admission being almost 10 times more, it allowed students with deep pockets to buy their way into private medical colleges. Thus, the scheme did not benefit economically weaker students.

Private medical college violates HC order, students send notice

Bosco.Dominique@timesgroup.com

Puducherry:24.01.2019

Eight postgraduate medical students of a medical college run by a deemed university in the Union territory have sent a contempt of court notice to the college chairman for pressurizing to pay fees higher than that stipulated by a committee constituted by the Puducherry government.

The students’ counsel V B R Menon has served the notice dated January 22 to Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute (MGMC & RI) chairman M K Rajagopalan and institute dean M Ravishankar. The Madras high court on May 3 last year passed an interim order directing Rajagopalan not to pressurize the students to pay fees over and above that fixed by the committee.

“Even though the writ petition was listed for hearing on various dates thereafter, it had to be adjourned each time due to the inability by the fees committee to fix the annual fees from the academic year 2017-18 onwards because of the legal hurdles created by you (Rajagopalan) through various devious and mischievous means, for which the petitioners are in no way responsible,” Menon said.

He also pointed out that the Madras high court on September 20 had extended the interim order until further orders.

He charged that the college management prevented the eight students from attending the classes from January 21 and the management’s action clearly amounted to ‘pressurizing and coercing’ the students to meet their ‘unjust and illegal’ demands for immediate payments of annual fees of ₹48 lakh, which was arbitrarily fixed by the management.

Menon said the students proposed to initiate contempt of court proceedings against Rajagopalan and Ravishankar for the willful and deliberate disobedience of the court’s order unless the two immediately withdrew their contemptuous actions and allowed the students to the classes and clinics.

There have been widespread complaints of deemed universities charging exorbitant fees (more than ₹45 lakh per annum) for postgraduate medical courses. The institutions have been admitting students with poor National eligibility cum entrance test (Neet) score, who are willing to pay exorbitant fees, overlooking meritorious students with better Neet score who couldn’t afford to pay exorbitant fees.

WRONG TRANSLATION

HC awards 20 marks to NEET candidate

Somdatta.Basu TNN

Kolkata 28.12.2018

: The Calcutta high court, in a recent order, awarded 20 marks to a NEET 2018 candidate after Calcutta University informed the court that Bengali translations of five questions appeared erroneous.

The candidate, Wasim Akram Hossain, had attempted all these five questions and got four answers wrong. The HC, in its order passed on December 20, ruled that Hossain be given 16 marks for the four wrongly worded questions and four more marks to offset negative marking on those questions.

“Denying him marks on the contention he ought to have compared with the questions set in English would be unjust. Firstly, because an examinee, in examination to find out depth of knowledge, will not readily think the question is wrong. Second, comparison would then present such an examinee with more difficulty,” Justice Arindam Sinha observed while passing the order.

However, the candidate, who took the NEET (undergraduate) test in Bengali, now plans to move the HC division bench pleading that not just five, but 98 out of the 180 questions were wrongly translated.

Justice Sinha raised specific queries regarding the erroneous Bengali translation of the five questions.

For instance, question 14 in the English questionnaire specifically mentioned unpolarized light, while the Bengali translation said only light. In the light of this question, Justice Sinha asked the CU and CBSE to clarify whether reflection and refraction of light, incident on a plain surface, is possible in both cases.

On the second question (no 30), the HC pointed out that while the English question asked for rate of production of heat, the translated question asked for the measure of kinetic energy.

Students from other states swamp MBBS in Tamil Nadu

DECCAN CHRONICLE. | A RAGU RAMAN

PublishedDec 7, 2018, 12:49 am IST

There were complaints that students from other states, after illegally obtaining nativity certificates, are applying under state quota.

To keep a check on a number of students from other states joining MBBS under state quota, the directorate of medical education has introduced a new rule this year saying that their parents should have done their schooling in Tamil Nadu.

Chennai: While only four students from government schools in Tamil Nadu were able to join MBBS in government medical colleges this year, a staggering 191 students who studied in other states have joined under the state quota in 22 medical colleges owned by the state, reveals data provided by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME).

When only one student was able to join from government schools in private medical colleges, as many as 70 students from other states joined Tamil Nadu medical colleges, according to the data obtained by RTI application.

The issue created a huge uproar in the state last year as 422 students studied in other states joined the government medical colleges after NEET was made mandatory. After obtaining nativity certificates from revenue department, they competed with the state students for medical seats.

To keep a check on a number of students from other states joining MBBS under state quota, the directorate of medical education has introduced a new rule this year saying that their parents should have done their schooling in Tamil Nadu.

"After implementing a new rule that either one of the parents should have had their schooling in Tamil Nadu, the number of students from outside the state has reduced this year. From over 400 students, it has come down to over 200 students this year," sources said.

"Till 2017, the students studying outside were not able to compete with state board students who will score very high cut-off marks. After NEET, they are scoring better in the entrance test compared to the state board students," sources added.

A case was also filed in the Madras High Court which sought to prevent students who have studied in other states joining Tamil Nadu medical colleges under state quota by providing nativity certificates. However, it is still pending before the court for more than a year.

There were complaints that students from other states, after illegally obtaining nativity certificates, are applying under state quota.

“There are some genuine cases like central government employees who get frequent transfers. While respecting the rights of the natives and residents, the state government should ensure that nativity certificates are not being misused,” said Dr.G.R.

Ravindranath, general secretary, Doctors Association for Social Equality “At present, there is no restriction on these students. We will apprise the government and come up with rules to safeguard the interest of our students,” officials added.

Headmasters from government schools urged the state government to provide separate reservation for students studying in state board and government schools. “These students have other opportunities like all India quota and the quota for their residential states to join MBBS. It is clear that state board students and government school students are not able to compete with other boards. Hence, they should be provided with a special reservation to ensure the equal representation of state board school students,” they said.

Of 2,447 seats in 22 government medical colleges, only around 40 students from government and private schools in state board joined MBBS this year. Meanwhile, 1,277 students from previous years and 611 students from CBSE schools were able to get the seats in government medical colleges.

As per rules, candidates must be domiciled in Tamil Nadu to get seats under state quota. The candidates who have studied from Class 6 to 12 in Tamil Nadu do not need to submit the domicile or nativity certificate while, the candidates who have studied class 6 to 12 partly or completely outside Tamil Nadu, have to produce it.

NRI medical students demand fee refund

TNN | Oct 20, 2018, 02.47 PM IST
 

HYDERABAD: Several medical students who gave up their MBBS seats, allotted under the management and NRI quotas, ahead of the Mop Up round (conducted after the second round of counselling to fill vacant seats), are still waiting for colleges to refund their fee. Students alleged that colleges are harassing them by releasing only partial fee even as some college managements are withholding their certificates.

“After the college sent out a mail saying that candidates can let go of their seats before the Mop Up round, we decided to do so. However, the college withheld ₹1 lakh from the fee we paid and only refunded ₹11.28 lakh. When we questioned the management about deduction of the remaining amount, they failed to give us any valid reason,” said a parent whose child gave up a seat in a private medical college.

He added, “My child did not like the college and decided to take a one-year break instead. We need to know exactly why the money was deducted.”

Squarely blaming the Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) - to which all medical colleges are affiliated — for this, members of the Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association (HRDA) stressed how the university has failed to regulate private colleges in the state, time and again.

Payments withheld: Student complains against medical college 

Special Correspondent 
 
October 06, 2018 23:48 IST

Top officials of a well-known medical college near Hoskote, have been accused of allegedly siphoning money owed to students over the last three years. Based on a complaint filed by former student Prashanta G. Koppal, who got his MD in General Medicine from the college, the Hoskote police have filed an FIR against the senior management.

In his complaint, Dr. Koppal said he got a seat in the general medicine course in 2015 along with 36 students. Another 14 had enrolled in the diploma course.

As per directions from the Medical Council of India and the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, the college was supposed to pay each student, a house surgeon, ₹12,50,000 as a stipend for three years. The college had to open a savings account for each of the students, but Dr. Koppal alleged that the management forced them to sign blank cheques and confiscated their ATM cards.

In his complaint he said students were told that they would not be allowed to continue the course if they raised objections.

“They warned us that our future was in their hands and those who questioned them would be thrown out,” Dr. Koppal told the police.

Another graduate, who wishes to remain anonymous, also corroborated this. He claimed that when he complained to the bank he was advised not to report this given that his academic career was at stake.

After all the students passed out in May this year, Dr. Koppal approached the police and lodged a complaint. He has demanded a probe. The police have taken up a case and are investigating.

The students said they had also approached RGUHS.

You can’t score less and join foreign medical colleges: HC

Only meritorious students should be allowed to enter any medical college, says the High Court. (Picture used for representational purpose only) 

Wants MCI to insist on scoring 75 to 80% in Plus Two besides clearing NEET

The Madras High Court has asked Medical Council of India (MCI) to spell out minimum marks that had been prescribed by it for issuing eligibility certificates to Indian students wanting to join medical courses in foreign colleges. The court wanted to know if any changes had been effected after the introduction of National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).

Substandard doctors

Justice N. Kirubakaran directed the counsel for MCI to get instructions on the subject by Monday. He said students who scored at least 75 to 80% marks in Plus Two alone should be allowed to pursue medicine in foreign institutions.

“Otherwise, children of moneyed people will easily obtain medical degrees and people will end up getting substandard doctors,” he said.

The judge was hearing a writ petition filed by a youth who had obtained a medical degree from a university in West Indies and had approached the court seeking a direction to Tamil Nadu Medical Council to register his name so that he could undergo Compulsory Rotatory Residential Internship (CRRI) in any approved medical college hospital in the State.

On a perusal of the petitioner’s marks in Plus Two examinations, the judge found that he had scored far below what would be required to gain admissions in a medical college within the country. He wondered how students, who were ineligible to gain admission in a domestic institution, could be allowed to obtain the same degree from a foreign university.

The judge also recalled that in an interim order passed last year, he had observed that “only meritorious students should be allowed to enter any medical colleges as the life of the patients/citizens are with the prospective doctors. This court cannot take risk with regard to public health as it would go against the interest of the society.”

Then, the MCI was suo motu included as a respondent to the case and details were called for regarding procedures adopted by it to grant eligibility certificates to join foreign medical colleges. Thereafter, the court was told that before introduction of NEET, just 50% marks in Plus Two were sufficient to join a foreign medical institution.

After NEET came into force, it had been mandatory to clear it even for securing a medical seat in a foreign country. The MCI had issued a notification on March 1 this year amending the regulations governing the issue. The procedure of issuing eligibility certificates was dispensed with and clearing NEET was made mandatory for all admissions from June 1 this year.

Nevertheless, the judge doubted how appropriate would it be to permit students who had scored 50% marks in Plus Two examinations to get admission in foreign colleges just because they had cleared NEET. He insisted that apart from clearing NEET, at least 75 to 80% marks in Plus Two should be scored to gain admission in foreign colleges.

Mop-up round for MBBS, BDS vacancies begins

3,042 seats available; candidates have to lock their choices by August 19

The medical counselling committee of the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has called for a mop-up round for the 3,042 vacancies for MBBS and BDS seats in deemed universities and ESIC medical colleges.

Registration for the mop-up round began on Thursday and will end at 5 p.m. on August 18. Candidates will have to lock their choices by August 19 and the results would be announced on August 20. Candidates will get five days’ time from August 21 to 26 to report to their respective colleges.

After the mop-up round, the DGHS will provide the vacant seats to the respective colleges and will also provide a merit list of candidates who can be called for counselling.

Among the deemed universities in the State, the most number of seats vacant in the management/paid category are in Chennai-based Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital with 116 seats, followed by ACS Medical College and Hospital, which has 81 vacancies.

The colleges are banking on the final mop-up round that would permit them to call students based on the merit list handed to them by the DGHS.

A smooth affair

Medical college officials, however, said seat filling had been smooth though two court cases had eaten into the time allotted for the admission process.

A source in Sri Ramachandra Medical College said it was among the first to fill all the seats last year also and it expected to do well this year too.

T. Gunasagaran, Dean of Saveetha Medical College, said in the mop-up round, they would fill 15 to 20 seats.

“The process has gone smoothly and people have understood the process well. The candidates know they will have to make a firm choice,” he said.

2ND ROUND MBBS COUNSELLING OVER

Better NEET results, same seat count make admissions tougher

Pushpa.Narayan@timesgroup.com

Chennai:

As the second round of MBBS counselling for the state came to an end on Monday, students, who were being admitted based on their NEET scores for the second consecutive year have raised the bar.

Admission to medical colleges in the state was tougher in 2018 compared to 2017. The last student to enter a state-run medical in the state this year had a score of 200 in NEET compared to 161 in 2017. The difference in scores compared to last year was the smallest among ST category (39) and widest among MBS (88). In the OC category difference is 42 marks.

Minutes after the state completed counselling and released list of allotted students, Manickavel Arumugum, a freelance consultant of medical aspirants worked out data for 2018. The numbers showed that better performance in NEET 2018 and lack of increase in seats made admissions tougher this year.

The top score in NEET this year was 676 marks— 20 points higher than that of last year’s topper. Eightyone students scored above 550 in NEET in both 2017 and 2018. But there are 213 students who got 500 or more compared to 203 students last year. The gap widened as the scores went down. For instance there were 1,279 students above 400 compared to 1,466 last year and 4,791 above 300 compared to 2,569 last year.

Admission to all medical and dental colleges is conducted by the state committee based on NEET 2018 marks and 69% rule of reservation. “Unlike last year, the DGHS returned more seats to Tamil Nadu. Many students had to options of getting a seat,” said selection committee secretary G Selvaraj.

On Saturday, round two counselling began with the seat matrix for second round MBBS counselling with 242 MBBS seats including 128 seats in government medical colleges, 26 seats in Annamalai University, 11 seats in ESIC Chennai and 77 seats under government quota in private colleges. By Monday MBBS seats in all colleges were exhausted.

The counselling to government management seats in BDS courses at selffinancing colleges will be held soon, he said.

2 முறைக்கு பதிலாக ஆண்டுக்கு ஒரு முறை மட்டுமே நீட் தேர்வு?




பொது மருத்துவம் மற்றும் பல் மருத்துவம் போன்ற மருத்துவ படிப்புகளுக்கான மாணவர் சேர்க்கைக்கு ஆண்டுதோறும் தேசிய அளவில் ‘நீட்’ எனப்படும் நுழைவுத்தேர்வு நடத்தப்படுகிறது.

புதுடெல்லி,

‘நீட்’ தேர்வு அடுத்த ஆண்டு முதல் ஒருமுறைக்கு பதிலாக 2 முறை நடத்தப்படும் என கடந்த மாதம் மத்திய அரசு அறிவித்தது.

பிப்ரவரி மற்றும் மே மாதங்களில் இந்த தேர்வு நடத்தப்படும் எனக்கூறிய மனிதவள மேம்பாட்டுத்துறை மந்திரி பிரகாஷ் ஜவடேகர், இந்த தேர்வுடன் என்ஜினீயரிங் படிப்புக்கான நுழைவுத்தேர்வும் நடத்தப்படும் என்றும் கூறினார். இந்த தேர்வுகள் முற்றிலும் ஆன்லைன் மூலம் நடத்தப்படும் எனவும், புதிதாக அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள தேசிய திறனாய்வு நிறுவனம், இந்த தேர்வுகளை நடத்தும் எனவும் அவர் தெரிவித்து இருந்தார்.

இந்த இருமுறை வாய்ப்பு மாணவர்கள் மற்றும் பெற்றோர் மத்தியில் வரவேற்பை பெற்றிருந்த நிலையில், இந்த நடவடிக்கைக்கு சுகாதார அமைச்சகம் அதிருப்தி தெரிவித்து உள்ளது. நீட் தேர்வை இருமுறை நடத்துவதால், இந்த தேர்வு கால அட்டவணை மாணவர்களுக்கு கூடுதல் அழுத்தத்தை கொடுக்கும் என மனிதவள மேம்பாட்டுத்துறைக்கு கடிதம் எழுதியுள்ளது.

மேலும் ஆன்லைனில் தேர்வு நடத்துவதால், கிராமப்புற மாணவர்கள் பாதிக்கப்படுவர் எனவும் சுகாதார அமைச்சகம் தனது கடிதத்தில் கவலை வெளியிட்டு இருந்தது.

இதைத்தொடர்ந்து ‘நீட்’ தேர்வை ஆண்டுக்கு இருமுறை என்பதற்கு பதிலாக ஒருமுறையே நடத்துவது குறித்து மனிதவள மேம்பாட்டுத்துறை அமைச்சகம் பரிசீலனை செய்ய முடிவு செய்திருப்பதாக தெரிகிறது. எனினும் இதில் இறுதி முடிவு எடுக்கப்படவில்லை என அமைச்சக வட்டாரங்கள் தெரிவித்தன.

New Delhi:10.08.2018

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.”
