NEW DELHI: The UGC is exploring the possibility of combining NEET for medical admissions and JEE (Main) for admissions in technical institutes into a single exam. The new move is aimed at solving the difficulty of students in appearing for multiple exams and making the task of conducting exams easier. Chairman M Jagadish Kumar informed that the UGC will constitute a special committee to seek the opinion of the concerned people.

"The commission is working on a proposal that would integrate the separate entrance examinations for medical and engineering into the CUET. There is no reason why a student should appear for separate examinations for proving proficiency in same subjects," Jagadesh Kumar said.
