Union Minister Prakash Javadekar has said that question papers in vernacular languages for the all- India entrance examination for medical colleges — NEET — will be a translation of the question paper in English in future.
The Human Resource Development Minister was replying to a question on a recent complaint by West Bengal Education Minister Partha Chatterjee that students appearing for NEET in vernacular languages this year had faced tougher questions than the ones set in English and Hindi.
“The vernacular question papers for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) will just be a translation of the question paper in English,” he told reporters here on Saturday.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had come under criticism for framing different sets of question papers for English and other languages this year.
Asked about ‘one nation one test’ policy for engineering courses, the Minister said, “We are yet to take a call on this issue. It is in discussion stage.”
