The National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET)-UG exam will be in pen-and-paper mode and will be conducted in the same number of languages as last year.
The decision was taken by the Ministry of Human Resources Development at the request of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, which wanted the pattern followed last year to be maintained.
On July 7, it was announced that NEET-UG exam would be conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA) twice and the mode would be computer-based.
NTA on Tuesday announced the schedule of examinations to be conducted by it between December 2018 and May, 2019. NEET-UG will be held on May 5, 2019.
“NTA is also establishing a countrywide network of test practice centres (TPCs) for students of rural areas so that everyone will have an opportunity to practice before the exam,” said the official statement.
Around 2,690 schools/engineering colleges with computer centres are being made available on every Saturday/Sunday starting on September 1, 2018 and any student can use the facility free of charge.
