Union Human Resource Development Minister Shri Ramesh PokhriyalNishank launched an app for the JEE and NEET aspirants on 20th May 2020. The minister tweeted that the decision for the app was made with the multiple and repeated requests from the JEE and NEET aspirants not able to attend their coaching classes due to pandemic and in order to meet their needs he advised @DG_NTA the National Test Agency to develop an Artificial Intelligence-powered Mobile app National Test Abhyas App for effective use of the student’s exam preparation for free of cost.
The mobile app is available to be used on all android Smart Phones for now and will soon be available for iOS says the minister. Students can download the app from Google Play Store by registering themselves and can log in daily to do the mock tests without any time or money constraints. The app made the life of the students appearing for JEE and NEET easy and also provided a proper solution in the critical pandemic state.
The app that launched is to do the mock tests from the comfort of their homes and with high quality and accuracy under the purview of NTA. The free cost app facilitates all the students to do the practice tests irrespective of the mobiles/computers quality or access to continuous internet connectivity as the tests can be done in offline mode after downloading the test once. This is more advantageous to people with low internet connectivity or getting signal problems in between the test which is not a problem with this offline mode option and NTA also maintains a help center http://nta.ac.in/abhyas/helpto support the student’s complaints/grievances.
