Madras HC stays NEET results till June 7
The Madurai bench of the Madras High Court on Wednesday ordered an interim stay on the announcement of National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) 2017 results until June 7.
Chennai: The Madurai bench of the Madras High Court on Wednesday ordered an interim stay on the announcement of National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) 2017 results until June 7.
The court has asked the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) not to declare the results of NEET until final orders are passed on a petition filed challenging NEET.
Justice MV Muralidaran granted the interim injunction on the ground that different question papers set for the NEET held in 10 languages would lead to discrimination between students. The plea contended that the examination breached the students’ right to equality under Article 14 of the Constitution.
The plea said NEET 2017 was conducted in all major languages, however the question paper in English was based on the CBSE syllabus, whereas the one in Tamil was based on the state syllabus.
The petitioner alleged that the authorities never informed the candidates that the question papers in different languages would not be the same and that they have the discretion to frame different set of questions in different languages.
The petitioner has also sought a direction to re-conduct NEET with same set of questions of all major languages in India.
