NEET limited to three attempts, Age limits put in place: UGC
The University Grants Commission(UGC), has clipped National Eligibility Entrance Test's(NEET), wings to bring about greater synchronization of functionality, by reducing the attempts for the examination to three and also introduce a new age criterion, for those who wish to sit for the medical and dental entrance test.
TOI has recently reported that the university grants officials took this decision at a meeting on Tuesday, in Delhi . The latest amendments include setting up of age limit as well as limiting the number of attempts
The most salient feature of the decisions has been to limit the number of attempts to three. This has been done in order to discourage the thousands who keep trying their luck at the examination and keep on applying every year. It is yet to be reported since when the said capping will be applicable .
