MCI to approach Supreme Court on States stalemate on NEET

 

With a Few states taking stay from the Respective High Courts on impelementation of National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test for undergraduate Admissions (NEET-UG) from 2012

The confusion surrounding the implementation of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET)-Under Graduate (UG) from the academic year 2012-13, has taken a new twist with the Medical Council of India (MCI) planning to approach the Supreme Court seeking its help to resolve the crisis.

Several State governments, including Karnataka, and many private medical colleges, are vehemently opposing the implementation of NEET-UG from this year. The Karnataka High Court has issued a stay order in this regard. MCI will take a final decision on conducting the NEET-UG at a meeting of its Board of Governors on Friday Reports Deccan Chronicle

According to MCI officials, private colleges and deemed-to-be universities are opposing the NEET-UG because they know that once the common entrance test is implemented, they can’t play around with the admissions process as they have been doing so far.

“Presently, impersonation is very common in most admission tests conducted by private institutes/ consortiums. This type of malpractice generates huge revenue for the managements. Most of the admission tests lack transparency. So, everyone is opposing the MCI’s decision. Unfortunately, some State governments have also joined hands with them,” said a senior MCI officer.

“One of the complaints of the Karnataka government is that the NEET-UG syllabus is not covered in the State curriculum and it may create problems for students from the State. But the State government was silent when we asked for feedback on the draft syllabus,” the officer added. When contacted, one of the governors of the MCI, Prof. K. Mohandas, confirmed that the council will move the Supreme Court seeking its guidance over implementation of NEET-UG from this academic year.
