NEW DELHI: The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) will be conducted on September 12 and the online registration will begin from 5pm on Tuesday, education minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced on Monday after meeting National Testing Agency (NTA) and senior ministry officials.
More than 16 lakh candidates are likely to take the pen-paper mode entrance test. The NEET-UG aspirants will get about 20 days for registration and three-four days correction window. The number of cities where examinations will be conducted has been increased from 155 to 198 and face masks will be provided to all candidates at the centres to ensure Covid 19 protocols, Pradhan tweeted.
The entrance test for MBBS/BDS courses had been scheduled for August 1. However, the registration process was deferred due to the surge in Covid cases.
