NTA-NMC officials appeared before the third parliamentary committee
This was the third parliamentary committee after the NEET-UG paper controversy, before which officials from both the ministries, NTA and NMC, appeared. Earlier, he had appeared before parliamentary committees related to education and government assurances. These committees were told that right now their entire focus is on conducting the re-examination of NEET to be held on June 21 in pen-paper format.
Here, the parliamentary committee also talked about boosting the morale of NTA after the recent controversy. He stressed on reducing the stress of students and coordination between NTA-NMC so that seats do not remain vacant.
Members expressed concern over the increasing incidents of suicide among students. He also asked the government to help the families of students who committed suicide.
Exam should be conducted 2-3 times a year
India’s biggest medical entrance exam NEET-UG is currently held once a year in a single session. Members of the parliamentary committee also suggested conducting NEET-UG 2-3 times a year so that students get multiple chances to pass the examination. They should not be troubled by reasons that are beyond their control.
The demand for conducting NEET several times a year has also been raised repeatedly. In July 2018, the then Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar had announced that NTA would conduct JEE Main and NEET-UG twice a year. However, it was never implemented.
However, in 2023, the National Medical Commission had said that conducting NEET-UG twice a year would not be practical, as all MBBS seats are filled through the same counseling process.
