MCI Ovesight Committe Vetoes AGE and Attempts Limit to NEET

While the final decision is indeed pending with the Apex Court, the recommendations are already being looked into by the medical regulator. Times of India reports that a confirmation to this effect was made to the daily by the MCI   vice-president Dr CV Bhirmanandham-"The oversight committee felt such limitations will reduce the number of doctors in the country. The Union health ministry agreed and suggested recommendation to us. We have passed it," he told TOI. "We give everyone the opportunity to clear the test. Students who don't make it this year either because they haven't prepared for the test or because they haven't applied for the test on time can always try later. It gives even undergraduate students of BSc an opportunity," he added
