Parliamentary Committee Proposes Multi-Phase NEET UG Exam Format

A parliamentary committee has proposed significant changes to the NEET UG examination format, suggesting it be conducted in multiple phases and as a computer-based test. This recommendation aims to streamline the process for the approximately 20 lakh candidates currently taking the exam in one day. Additionally, the committee has suggested separate entrance exams for MBBS, AYUSH, and nursing courses to reduce candidate numbers per exam. The NTA is set to implement these changes while ensuring transparency in the examination process. Results for the NEET UG re-exam are expected by July 18, with candidates able to access their scores online.

NEET UG Exam Recommendations

A parliamentary committee has suggested that the NEET UG examination be conducted in multiple phases, akin to the JEE format. Furthermore, it has proposed transitioning the NEET exam to a computer-based testing system.

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET UG) currently accommodates around 20 lakh (2 million) candidates in a single day. The committee's recommendation aims to alleviate this by adopting a multi-phase, computer-based approach.

Proposals from the Parliamentary Panel

The committee has also put forth the idea of holding distinct entrance examinations for MBBS, AYUSH, and nursing programs. This change is intended to lessen the number of candidates participating in a single examination. However, sources indicate that the National Testing Agency (NTA) believes that separate exams may not be feasible since admissions are based on NEET scores.

Enhancing Transparency in NEET

The NTA has stated that the Ministry of Health will ultimately decide on the parliamentary committee's recommendations. Currently, the NTA is working on implementing the Radhakrishnan Committee's suggestions in stages to promote transparency and ensure a flawless examination process.
