Summary:
Minister of State for Human Resource Development (HRD) Upendra Kushwaha had informed the Lok Sabha last year that the NEET and JEE (MAINS) might be conducted twice a year. The National Testing Agency (NTA) — Centre's one-point agency for conducting all entrance examinations — will conduct the first test in December 2018, for the academic year 2019. The NTA would work as an autonomous and self-sustained premier testing organisation to conduct entrance examinations for higher educational institutions. While the entrance examinations for the 2018-19 session were held earlier this year and results have been announced, the exams might be conducted again in December 2018. Both JEE (MAINS) and NEET are conducted by the CBSE..
