Students appeared for NEET can go for second phase: SC

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today said the students who took National Eligibility Entrance Test(NEET) can also appear for NEET-II.

“Students who took NEET-I can appear for NEET-II as well,” said an apex court bench, headed by Justice Anil R Dave. On Friday, the apex court had said NEET-II, scheduled for July 24, will allow only those candidates who have not appeared in the May 1 NEET-I examinations irrespective of whether or not they had filled up the forms.

The Central Board of School Education (CBSE) is conducting the NEET examinations in the current year only in English and Hindi. These two medical courses — MBBS and BDS — was opposed by Medical Council of India (MCI).

The apex court had earlier in its last hearing on April 29, made it clear that the NEET examinations would go as per the schedule on May 1 and July 24. (AGENCIES)
