In an attempt to lessen the burden on the students, the NTA had also written a letter to the Union Health Ministry asking if it was possible to conduct the entrance exam twice a year.
Last year the NEET was held in 11 languages including Tamil, Telugu. English, Hindi, Urdu, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Odia, Marathi, Kannada and Gujarati.
