National Testing Agency took over the responsibility of conducting NEET in the year 2018. Although it was initially decided to hold the exam twice a year, the decision was rolled back, and as of now, the exam remains a once a year exam, in pen and paper mode. 

After starting with a handful of exams, this year NTA is conducting JEE Main, UGC NET, IIFT, CSIR NET, CMAT, GPAT, NEET, AIAPGET, NCHM JEE, IGNOU MBA, ICAR AIEEA, JNUEE, DUET. The agency was established to be the center point for all higher education exams in India. Primarily it was meant to be a separate body in view of the increasing burden on CBSE that was conducting a number of exams until then, and also to make the exam process more transparent, fair, and secure.
