New Delhi: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has proposed to conduct the National Entrance cum Eligibility Test (NEET) for various graduate-level medical courses in India.
A proposal in this regard has been put forward in the draft of the commission’s Regulations of Undergraduate Medical Education Board, 2023. As of now, NEET examinations are conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
The draft also sets the eligibility criteria for NEET (UG courses). Candidates who have learned Classes 10 and 12 with subjects Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Biotechnology and English will be eligible. In addition, there are plans to rope in multiple agencies for the conduct of examinations.
Student migration (college switching) will be allowed only in the first academic year. It can be from a government medical college to a government medical college and from a non-government medical college to a non-government medical college only.
Those colleges acting against the instructions of the commission will be slapped with a fine of Rs 50 lakh the first time and Rs 1 crore for the second violation. Students will also be debarred in case of violations.
Those who wish to express their opinions regarding the draft regulations can share their comments at: comments.ugregulations@nmc.org.in
