NEET FAQs
Doubts, Confusions about NEET (National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test)
How
many times NEET exam is held in a year ?
Will
neet be conducted two times in 2021 ?
Answer:
Please be informed that till 2020 NTA used to
conduct National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) once in a year with more than 71,000
undergraduate seats i.e. MBBS admissions across the country.
However, MBBS admissions in AIIMS and JIPMER which
until 2019 were done through their own separate exams will this year be based
on NEET 2020 scores followed by counselling. Implementation of the NMC Act and cessation of both AIIMS MBBS
and JIPMER MBBS exams have created a greater demand for NEET which may ultimately force to conduct the NEET
examination twice a year in future.
NTA has already received various proposals and suggestions that the exam be
conducted twice a year.
AIIMS MBBS was tougher than any other medical
entrance test in India. To maintain the standards of the Institution, NTA has
been advised by several experts to focus on the pattern of the NEET question
paper. Expecting an increase in the difficulty level of the examination, various
student bodies have requested NTA to increase the frequency of the examination
to twice a year, like JEE Main, to enable them to pick the best score of the
two exams. So, there are some
discussions and planning going on at primary level and frequency of NEET may be
increased to twice a year from the academic session 2021-2022 for which the
confirmation is yet to come. However, this would be possible only after the
final nod from the central health ministry.
Nevertheless, there would be certain
benefits as well as difficulties of conducting or appearing NEET twice in a
year. (If you
