The Centre may approve the move to hold medical entrance exam NEET twice a year from the next academic year. It is learnt that the Union Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health and family welfare earlier held discussions to hold NEET entrance exam twice a year from this session itself but the talks did not yield any solid outcome.
Vineet Joshi, director general (DG) of the National Testing Agency (NTA), told a leading news agency that the talks of conducting NEET multiple times a year is still not dead but it is epected that from NEET 2022 the entrance exam would be held twice a year.
Notably, the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare started talks over this matter when Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank was Union Education Minister.
It is to be noted that NEET entrance exam is held in pen and paper mode and in offline mode and the entrance exam for admission into medical colleges is held only once in year while for engineering, the government has decided to hold entrance exam twice a year. In an apparent attempt to provide more flexibility in the current academic year, the government has decided to increase the number of attempts for JEE Mains 2021.
Several medical aspirants have been requeting the Education Ministry to have more than one attempt for NEET just like JEE Mains. Earlier, the Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO) had written a letter to former Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal seeking multiple attempts at NEET. “It is heartening to see that the National Testing Agency will be conducting the JEE for engineering institutions four times this year, giving each student multiple attempts to give their best possible performance, and also allowing for students impacted by health and other concerns to skip a test without having to drop a whole year. A similar decision must be taken for other “high-stakes” exams, including at least NEET and CLAT for medical and law colleges respectively," the SIO wrote in the letter.
