Supreme Court orders common entrance test for MBBS, BDS and PG courses through NEET

The Supreme Court on Thursday paved the way for National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) this year for admission into medical colleges.

The SC directed the Centre and CBSE to go ahead and conduct two-phase single common entrance test for MBBS, BDS and PG courses through the NEET.

The apex court said that the AIPMT, which is to take place on Sunday, would be considered as first phase of the NEET.

The second phase would be conducted on July 24, the SC said. With today’s SC order, all other examinations scheduled for next month stand scrapped.

“Those students who have not applied for AIPMT will be given opportunity to appear in second phase of the NEET examination on July 24,” the SC said.
