  • Apart from the JEE Main and NEET, the UGC NET and CMAT examinations will also be held by the newly-formed NTA.

    The NTA will be chaired by an eminent educationist appointed by the HRD ministry.

    In order to serve rural requirements, the NTA would locate test centres at district/sub-district levels as far as possible, and would provide hands on training to the students.
