Undergraduate admission to
medical courses can only be done through National Eligibility cum Entrance Test
(NEET), the Supreme Court said on Monday. In a major decision with regard to NEET,
the Supreme Court on Monday said that the students who could not appear in NEET
1 would be allowed to appear in NEET 2, scheduled for July 24.
Only NEET would
enable candidates to get admission to MBBS or BDS studies. In accordance with
the court order, CBSE’s AIPMT on May 1 was considered as the first phase of
NEET wherein over six lakh students had appeared.
On April 28, 2016, the Supreme
Court put to rest all confusion by modifying its 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. With this clarification the court had made it clear that all other
admission tests, already held or scheduled for later for admission to diverse government
colleges, deemed universities, minority and linguistic minority colleges, private
medical colleges, stand scrapped.
Later, the state
governments, including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir,
sought a modification of this order to enable them conduct their separate exam
for this year. But the five Judge bench on Monday said, "Only NEET would
enable students' to get admission to MBBS or BDS studies"
