The Medical Council of India (MCI) has
notified amendment in its regulations to conduct common entrance test
viz. National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to
Under Graduate (UG) and Post Graduate (PG) medical courses in the
country from 2013-14. Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has
been identified as the agency for conducting NEET for UG and National
Board of Examinations (NBE) for PG medical courses.
Majority of States have accepted the
proposal but few States have expressed apprehensions about the proposed
NEET which pertained to syllabus, medium of test, reservation policy,
etc. Most of the apprehensions have been addressed. The MCI’s
regulations on NEET clearly indicate that the prevailing reservation
policy of States would not be disturbed.
Further, the NEET-UG will be conducted
in six regional languages viz. Gujarati, Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu
and Assamese in addition to Hindi and English. Few medical colleges and
State Governments have filed written petitions in respective Hon’ble
High Courts seeking exemption from NEET. More than 26 such writ
petitions have been transferred to the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India
and the matter is sub-judice and any exclusion would depend upon the
decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court in the pending transfer petitions.
