Maharashtra Government asks for exemption from medical entrance NEET in 2017.
Maharashtra on Monday, May 2, asked for a delayed exemption from the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET). The state government has asked to hold any such change for 2017 and defer the implementation till 2018.
Why has Maharashtra asked to hold the change?
The reason for the same is not for rebellious concerns but convenience of students appearing for the examination in the coming year. The SC hearing for the same is scheduled for today
Pravin Shinghare, Director of Medical Education and Research says that the petition has been filed in complete interest of the students who have been preparing for the examination for a long time now

According to sources, there are two possibilities of the petition:
The Maharashtra government might be omitted from NEET
If Maharashtra is not omitted, there will be a delay till 2018
The NEET confusion: Proceedings till now
Since NEET came for the first time in 2013, there have been speculations over its continuation.
First, the Supreme Court's verdict cancelled the continuation
However, earlier this year, a petition from a non-profit organisation that stressed on the corrupt practices by medical institutes, which began with their entrance tests replacing the NEET, brought back the Entrance Test
Another legitimate point raised on the same was that of the sudden announcement of NEET this year that may have left many students preparing for the same a little baffled. A period less than two months is said to be limited time for such preparation.
The first phase of NEET was held on May 1, 2016 for which students expressed concern and worry over difficult questions
