New Delhi: The ambiguity over the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)
ended on Thursday when the Supreme Court quashed the validity of the common
entrance exam.
In its ruling, the apex court said that Medical Council of India cannot conduct unified examination for courses.
The NEET was proposed to decide the process for admissions into all medical and dental courses.
The
medical education standoff started with Medical Council of India’s decision to
conduct the first-ever common entrance examination, the NEET, for admission to
MBBS and post-graduate courses in medicine as well as dental courses. The
proposal was, however, opposed by the private medical and dental colleges and
they moved the apex court.
In an interim order, the SC had directed the Medical Council of India (MCI) and all private colleges to start their admission process, as per the old guidelines where the MCI, state governments and private colleges conduct their separate exams.
A large section of aspiring medicos did
back NEET, arguing that NEET will make the admission process simpler and more
transparent
