As a measure of relief to lakhs of students, the Supreme Court ruled that students, who appeared in National Eligibility Entrance Test-I (NEET) on May 1 for admissions in various medical courses, can re-appear in NEET-II if they give up their candidature for NEET-I. Also, the candidates who could not appear in NEET-1 would be allowed to appear in NEET 2.
According to a newspaper report, the Supreme Court said: "Students who took NEET-I can appear for NEET-II as well."
While refusing to modify its earlier orders, the apex court made clear that the students will get enrolled into MBBS and BDS courses only through NEET. States and private colleges will be restricted from conducting their separate entrance examination.
Earlier, the court had said that only those candidates who have not appeared in NEET-I exam irrespective of whether or not they had filled up the forms, will be allowed to appear in NEET-II scheduled for July 24.
According to the schedule fixed up, the All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) held on May 1 has to be treated as the first phase of the NEET.
As per the deadline set by the apex court in its previous orders, the combined result will be declared on August 17, in order to complete the admission process by September 30.
