National Testing Agency (NTA) To Conduct NEET 2019 On May 5

The HRD ministry has decided to withdraw its decision to conduct the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) twice a year. In the last month, the HRD ministry stated that NEET and JEE Main will be conducted twice a year. The decision is a repercussion to the recommendations made by the health ministry asking the HRD ministry to reconsider the proposal of conducting NEET twice a year.

The human resource ministry has also introduced the National Testing Agency (NTA), which will be conducting various examinations such as NEET and JEE Main. According to the schedule released by NTA, NEET would be conducted on May 5, 2019. The online application process will begin from November 1 to 30, 2018.
