For the first time, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has taken the initiative to conduct the examination in 13 regional languages, alongside Hindi.
The decision to offer the exam in regional languages aims to make it more accessible and inclusive for candidates from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
