Union Human Resource Development minister Prakash Javadekar has said vernacular question papers for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test will be mere translation of the question paper in English.

About 'one nation one test' in engineering he said, "We are yet to take a call on this issue. It is in discussion stage."
