Union Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar has said vernacular question papers for the NEET will be mere translation of the question paper in English.

“The vernacular question papers for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) — the all-India entrance examination for entrance to medical colleges — will just be translation of the question paper in English,” he said in Kolkata on Saturday.
