In an earlier story done by Medical Dialogues at the time of budgetary announcements last year, Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley in his budget speech had proposed the establishment of a National Testing Agency (NTA) to conduct all academic entrance examinations. This he has said would result in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), getting relieved of all administrative work of conducting examinations. His announcement was a clear indication of the National Eligibility Entrance Test(NEET), for admissions to medical colleges of the country, henceforth falling under the purview of the NTA. The CBSE body had been looking after the conduction of NEET at the all India level, till now.
