NEW
DELHI : The
Government has decided to hold the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test
(NEET-2) this time in eight languages, including six regional languages, for
admissions in the MBBS courses across the country.
Some
states were allowed early this year to conduct their own entrance tests, but
henceforth all admissions will be only through NEET and will be conducted by
the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) as ruled by the Supreme Court.
So
far NEET used to be held only in English and Hindi. It will be held the next
year also in Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and Assamese.
The Health Ministry sources said
Kerala also wanted to include Malayalam in the test, but it was late as it did
not represent when the ministry conducted consultations with all states. They
said the Supreme Court’s approval was taken before finalising the six new
languages for conducting the test.
