NEET-UG Will Stay Offline Despite Panel Suggestion
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|January 17, 2025
The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Thursday announced that the 2025 edition of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate or NEET-UG will be conducted offline on a single day and in a single shift, sidestepping some key recommendations made by an expert panel last year.
NEW DELHI:
The seven-member high-level committee was set up by the Union government last year after uproar over the botched NEET-UG examination process that saw spiralling allegations of question paper leaks, inflated marking, and arbitrary allowance of grace marks. Among its key recommendations were shifting to a "multi-session" and "multi-stage" online test.
But on Thursday, NTA decided to stick to the same pen-and-paper process used in 2024. "As decided by the National Medical Commission (NMC), the NEET-UG shall be conducted in pen-and-paper mode (OMR-based) in a single day and shift," a NTA notice said.
The agency did not respond to HT's queries.
