NEET 2019: The National Testing Agency has activated the online application submission link for the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) at ntaneet.nic.in. Earlier, CBSE conducted the medical entrance exam on behalf of Medical Council of India. The applicants who clear NEET are eligible to seek admission to MBBS/BDS courses. The exam will be held in 11 languages — English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Odia, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. Candidates have to keep in mind that if they are opting for, let’s say, Kannada medium then the paper will be available only in the centres/ cities located in the Karnataka.
In 2018, 13 lakh students took the exam and a similar number of students are expected to appear for NEET 2019. Just like last year, this year too, NEET will be a single exam in the pen-and-paper mode as intimated by the NTA.

Earlier, the Indian Express had reported that the Union HRD Ministry’s keenness to put off any changes in the NEET’s conduct is influenced by the Health Ministry, which fears an online (read computer-based) test would put students from rural and economically poor families at a disadvantage.
The registrations for NEET are open till November 30, 2018. The admit cards will be available for download from April 15, 2019 onwards and the exam will be held on May 5.
