SC: Pvt colleges can't hold separate tests for MBBS, BDS
NEW DELHI, May 6, 2016, DHNS
The Supreme Court on Thursday said there was no question of private colleges or their associations holding their own separate admission tests to MBBS and BDS courses.
A 3-judge bench presided by Justice Anil R Dave, however, refused to clarify if the states could also conduct their own exams, following the court’s nod for the 2-phase National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).
“We have not stayed the relevant regulations of the states. But NEET is in operation,” the bench, also comprising Justices Shiva Kirti Singh and Adarsh K Goel, said. The court's observation came on a query by a counsel that an impression was created that the states could also hold their admission tests.
Hearing pleas by various states opposing NEET, the court asked the CBSE, represented by Additional Solicitor General Pinky Anand, to respond by Friday if all those students who already appeared for the May 1 examination could also be allowed to undertake another test scheduled for July 24. The court also asked if the examination conducting body could accommodate an estimated 30 lakh aspirants in phase II of NEET in case all students are allowed to appear for it.
