NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today allowed extension of dates for counselling of students who have cleared the NEET exam to join medical and dental courses across the country by accepting the plea of Medical Council of India (MCI).
The apex court allowed the MCI’s plea as per the list of dates provided by its counsel, according to which the admission process for MBBS course would be completed by August 28 and admission in the dental course by September 10.
A bench of Justices Dipak Misra and N V Ramana extended the date for counselling after MCI’s counsel said there was a delay in announcement of result of National Eligibility-cum- Entrance Test (NEET) due to the interim order of Madras High Court which had restrained CBSE from publishing the results.
