Overview

Medical admissions through the NEET UG may no longer depend solely on entrance examination scores, with a government-appointed committee reportedly proposing 50 per cent weightage for Class 12 board examination marks in the admission process.

The proposal, currently under consideration by a Ministry of Education panel, aims to reduce the high-stakes nature of the NEET examination while encouraging greater emphasis on school education. The committee is also examining reforms such as aligning NEET more closely with the school syllabus, introducing multiple opportunities to appear for the examination and gradually transitioning to adaptive computer-based testing, according to sources.
