According to the latest notification released by the NTA, this year, the exam will be conducted in 13 languages including English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu across 380 cities in India, and 26 cities abroad.
The upcoming edition of the exam will allow candidates to select a maximum of six subjects as opposed to the previous version, which allowed up to 10 subjects. The exam will be held on multiple days and in two or three shifts, depending on the number of candidates and subject choices, according to an official. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is exploring the option of conducting papers in the OMR mode for registrations with a large number of students. This would allow the NTA to choose more schools as test centers, ensuring that students can take the exam in a centre that is close to their city or town, eliminating the need to travel to far-off locations. The University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar confirmed this information to PTI.
