India TV NewsThere are no plans to merge engineering entrance exam JEE and medical entrance exam NEET with the Common University Entrance Test for next two years, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Wednesday. University Grants Commission Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar had last month said JEE and NEET will be merged with the CUET in future. "Merger of NEET, JEE and CUET is currently a concept, a thought, and the government has not yet decided upon it in principle," Pradhan said while interacting with students, mostly hailing from his home state Odisha, of Allen Career Institute here during his one-day visit to the city on Tuesday. With 14.9 lakh registrations, the CUET, the common gateway for undergraduate admissions in all central universities, is now the second biggest entrance exam in the country, surpassing JEE-Main’s average registration of nine lakh.
