For admission in medical colleges, the National Eligibility
cum Entrance Test (NEET) for the academic year 2017-18 will be held in eight
different languages, namely, English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati,
Marathi, Tamil and Telugu for aspiring students. The Union health minister, JP
Nadda, stated that qualified candidates will be eligible for all India quota
and are also entitled for the various state government and the institute quotas
available, irrespective of medium chosen by the students, along with the
subject for other eligibility criteria.
The Union health minister had met the health ministers
and the health secretaries of 18 states and Union Territories in the month of
May. The meeting was held to discuss the implementation of the National
Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) to be held across the country. According
to the statement given by AK Singhal, Joint secretary, Medical Education, it is
clear that both Central health ministry and state health ministries, with
mutual understanding, have come to the conclusion to offer equal opportunities
to the students appearing for the state board exams and satisfying the
criteria.
The decision of having the National Eligibility
cum Entrance Test (NEET) in eight languages has been taken to help the students
while taking the exam from different states and in their own languages. The
languages English and Hindi are common, while the other languages like
Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil and Telugu are the useful regional
languages. The earlier entrance test AIPMT has been replaced with National
Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for admissions in medical
and dental colleges all over India. And it clearly says that no other medical
exam will be conducted by any other state.
