NEET entrance exams would only be administered in government institutions, according to the Assam cabinet.

Three modifications to the National Eligibility cum Entrance Tests (NEET) exams, which are administered annually to choose applicants for admission to medical schools around the nation, were agreed by the Assam cabinet on Sunday.

The adjustments included limiting the locations of the exams to government-run centers or universities, allowing district officials to oversee the examination process, and requiring students to take biometric tests prior to the test.

According to chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, "inputs from professors at medical colleges in the state had revealed that many students despite securing admissions after getting high marks at NEET exams aren't found to be meritorious while pursuing their courses." As a result, we gave the Assam Police's special branch (SB) instructions to carry out an investigation 1.5 years ago. Additionally, it was discovered that numerous private institutions throughout the state administered the NEET entry exams," he continued.
