NEW DELHI: The Centre is mulling bringing an Ordinance to defer by one year the implementation of the Supreme Court-ordered NEET as the sole entrance test for admissions to medical and dental colleges
Sources in the Government said today that the Ordinance could be brought to “postpone the effect of the Supreme Court judgement by 12 months”.
Though no final decision has been taken yet, one view within the Government is to bring the Ordinance to delay the implementation of the Supreme Court verdict that disallowed states to conduct their own entrance exams and ordered that only the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test(NEET) be the basis for admissions.
But so far, there is no clarity on whether an Ordinance only will suffice or a new law will be required.
So far, the issue has not been listed for discussions at the meeting of the Union Cabinet slated for tomorrow morning. (AGENCIES)
