Mr. Ashwin Kumar said that the above information was obtained from the National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the NEET entrance exam every year. However, there was no information on the average mark of a student seeking admission under 85% state quota.
The Minister also explained the syllabus referred to prepare NEET question paper last year was based on the common syllabus notified by the Board of Governors of Medical Council of India (MCI).
With NEET UG becoming the only entrance exam for MBBS admissions from 2020, we can expect a marginal rise in the average score of students seeking admission under AIQ. Also, there are a good number of chances for implementing NEET UG for B.Sc Nursing Admissions from 2021.
The number of candidates appearing for NEET 2020 may be expected to increase, as NEET replaced JIPMER and AIIMS MBBS exams. At the same, NEET score is mandatory to pursue medical courses abroad, and there are good chances that more students are going to take NEET exam in 2020.
