NEET tomorrow

​New Delhi: The Supreme Court here on Friday refused to entertain the Centre's plea on NEET seeking a date-change for the first phase of the test scheduled for May 1 (Sunday). The CBSE is conducting the NEET in the current year only in English and Hindi.
The Centre on Thursday submitted a schedule to the court after being directed to do so stating that it was ready to conduct the examination in two phases on May 1 and June 24.
Following uproar over the decision and as the state governments' already announced their separate CET dates, the Centre on Friday resorted to the flip-flop and sought permission to change the dates.
Citing genuine difficulties, the government suggested that the students be allowed to take the exams on July 24. With just two days left for the first phase of the exams, the shortage of time for preparations is haunting students.
Hearing the plea, Justice Anil Dave, heading the five-member bench that looked into the issue and passed the order on Thursday, said: "We have passed the order.
Let the exams go on," refusing to modify or alter its order. It had approved the schedule put before it by the Centre, the CBSE and the Medical Council of India (MCI) for treating All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) fixed for May 1 as NEET-1.
It had said those who had not applied for AIPMT will be given the opportunity to appear in NEET-II on July 24 and the combined result would be declared on August 17 so that the admission process can be completed by September 30.
The court also welcomed any petitioner to knock its doors in this regard, but said the petition would be treated as a fresh case as the present five-member bench's orders were final.
The order implied that all government colleges, deemed universities and private medical colleges would be covered under NEET and those examinations which have already taken place or slated to be conducted separately stand scrapped.
