Finally the confusion of students, who wish to take admission into various medical colleges, cleared as the Supreme Court on Thursday, April 28, gave a nod to the Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) schedule for organizing the entrance examination in two phases this year.
Earlier in the day, the apex court had reserved its order on whether the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) would be conducted from this academic year or would be held from next year onwards.
The CBSE had proposed to hold NEET in two phases. According to the board's proposal phase 1 of the examination was to be held on May 1, 2016 and phase 2 was to be conducted on July 24.
The board was originally scheduled to conduct the All India Pre-medical/Pre-dental Entrance Test (AIPMT) on May 1 for which 6,67,637 candidates are scheduled to appear from 1,040 centres in 52 cities, including abroad.
The results of both the phases of examination will be combined and declared on August 17.
Many states and private medical colleges had opposed holding the NEET exam for this year and requested that they be heard in detail before any final order is taken in this regard.
On April 12, the SC had quashed its earlier controversial judgement scrapping single common entrance test (NEET) for admission to MBBS, BDS and PG courses in all medical colleges.
