The Supreme Court ruling against NEET (National Eligibility Entrance test) notification for filling-up the medical seats in the states has come as a blessing for lakhs of students, who are not familiar with it. Yesterday, Supreme Court has scrapped the notification issued by the Medical Council of India and stated that it can’t control the different entrance exam patterns in different states or can’t insist to follow its NEET for filling-up the medical seats all over the country.
The apex court has allowed all the state governments for filling-up the medical seats through EMCET or with their exiting local entrance exam patterns. With this, the 2 year long stalemate between the AIMC and state governments has comes to an end. However, the apex court also allows the state governments to adopt the NEET process for filling-up the medical seats, if they opt for it. We might be aware that in AP the medical seats are being filled through EMCET exams.
So, students in AP, who are planning to join medical course now need not to worry about facing NEET and they can continue with EMCET, which they are very familiar with.
