The state government responded positively over implementing Neet from 2013 and asked the NTR University of Health Sciences to finalise the modalities of the test.
The NTRUHS registrar, Dr Venugopal Rao, participated in a meeting conducted by CBSE in Delhi last month. The CBSE has agreed to provide Neet questions in Telugu. It has decided to conduct Neet in five cities in AP.
Everything was going smoothly, when the department of medical education asked officials of the higher education to give their opinion whether AP should adopt Neet from 2013 or 2014.
The higher education department opted for 2014, since the fresh batch of 10+2 students, who took admission this year, will prepare accordingly.
Taking this into consideration, the department of medical education has referred the issue again to the state government to take a final decision. The decision has to be taken quickly by the Chief Minister, so that the students are clear on which test they must study for.
