Hi kajal.

 

In order to give an opportunity to the students to bring out their best performance, the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) and Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) might be conducted twice a year. With the Union cabinet approving the creation of a National Testing Agency (NTA) to conduct all entrance tests, it is likely that the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) and Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) might be conducted twice a year. Theidea behind conducting exam twice a year is to give an opportunity to the students to bring out their best performance. but do mind it, it would take time to implement this. So if you are looking forward for test in 2018 I would suggest you to focus on NEET only and it will be conducted by CBSE only and don’t bother about these. Good luck buddy

No... NTA act will come in action in 2019.     Because it needs time to make rules and some amendments..  .

Hello Kajal,

In what is being touted as a landmark move with regard to the conduct of entrance examinations in India, the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given its approval for the creation of a National Testing Agency (NTA), bringing to life an idea first mooted in the 2017-18 Union Budget. As per a Government of India press release dated November 10, 2017, the NTA will be registered as a society and run as an autonomous and self-sustained premier testing organization to conduct entrance examinations for higher educational institutions. However, with around only two months remaining for the NEET 2018 applications to begin, the NTAs involvement in the conducting ofNEETis only expected to take place in 2019 at the earliest.

The introduction of the NTA may also lead to NEET and other exams being held twice a year. Further details about the NTA and its proposed structure can be readhere.
