Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, June 12, 2017 :  The Supreme Court today directed the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to declare National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) results. The results are likely to be declared within 10 days.

 

The CBSE had approached the top court regarding the declaration of results which had been put on hold by the Madras High Court on May 24.

The CBSE can initiate the admission process, the top court said.

In a stern tone, the vacation bench of Justice Prafulla C. Pant and Justice Deepak Gupta also barred the high courts in the country from entertaining any petition on NEET, the entrance examination to the country’s medical colleges.

"High courts shouldn’t have interfered as it affects the schedule of the admission," they said.

The result for the NEET exam, which was conducted on May 7, was put on hold by the Madras court after a medical aspirant pleaded that the question paper for vernacular languages in the national level exam wasn’t uniform.

The Supreme Court, which had earlier dismissed to hear any plea from CBSE, agreed after Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh, who is representing the CBSE, requested for an urgent hearing amid complaints from students in many states claiming that the CBSE had a different set of question papers for aspirants writing the test in vernacular languages.

A total of 11,38,890 students appeared for the exam including 1,522 non-resident Indians and 613 foreign nationals. The NEET 2017 was conducted for 65,000 MBBS and 25,000 BDS seats.

Apart from English and Hindi, it was held in 10 languages, including Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Assamese, Gujarati, Oriya and Kannada.)
