And the case has been reopened- NEET cancellation judgement has been recalled
It is reported that supreme court has set aside the famous 2013 order which had quashed the government’s move to introduce common entrance test for MBBS, BDS as well as PG courses in both government and private medical colleges.
In a review petition filed with the apex court, a 5-judges bench led by Justice Anil Dave, has directed that the matter will be heard afresh now. In the mean time is has directed that “ till the matter is decided NEET can be implemented.”
Medical Fraternity as well its Apex Regulator, MCI had earlier warranted the need for a common entrance test and Central government had passed an order for the same. This was in view of making the process of medical education more transparent and removing the morbid corruption that exists in the form of capitation fee for admission to private medical colleges in the country.
However, in 2013 a three division bench headed by now Retd Chief Justice Altamas Kabir had quashed the said notification on the grounds that it violated the rights of private institutions to administer such institutions.
