The Central Government is planning to conduct National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test in all the State languages from next year. Ministry of health has written to all state health ministers for certain clarifications with regard to this.
The Supreme Court gave the green signal for the CBSE to hold the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) 2016-17 in two phases and approved the Medical Council of India`s schedule for the common entrance exams for undergraduate medical and dental courses starting May 1.
But some of the States including Tamil Nadu were not able to adhere to this order. In view of this the President of India, in a fresh move, has finally signed the order to put the common medical entrance examination on hold for a year.
In between, various States have made request to conduct NEET in vernacular languages. As of now NEET is held in Tamil and English.
At this juncture, the Health Ministry has decided to conduct NEET in all the vernacular languages.
