For the first time, the
NEET exam was conducted on May 5, 2013, in English and Hindi. Later Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Odia languages were added in 2017.
In 2013, the
Supreme Court of India declared NEET exam illegal and unconstitutional. However, in 2016 a five-judge bench recalled the earlier verdict and allowed the Central Government and the
Medical Council of India (MCI) to implement the NEET.
