SC :States can’t conduct entrance exams for medical colleges, admission through NEET only

New Delhi: In a major decision with regard to National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET), the Supreme Court on Monday said that the candidates who could not appear in NEET 1 would be allowed to appear in NEET 2.

The apex court put to rest all confusion by refusing to modify its April 28 order by which it had allowed Centre and CBSE to conduct a single common entrance test for admission to MBBS and BDS courses through National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET).

The top court had approved the schedule put before it by the Centre, CBSE and Medical Medical Council of India (MCI) for treating All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) fixed for May 1 as NEET-1. Those who have not applied for AIPMT will be given opportunity to appear in NEET-II on July 24 and the combined result would be declared on August 17 so that the admission process can be completed by September 30.

Around 6.5 lakh students took up the NEET-I test held on May 1.
