The controversial NEET examination results, which determines admission into private and government medical and dental institutions across the country, is expected to be released by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Wednesday. This will bring relief to lakhs of students.
The first phase of National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test, which saw 6 lakh candidates register, was conducted on May 1 just three days after the Supreme Court made it compulsory for all students to appear for the exam for admissions to medical and dental colleges across India.
As thousands of students had not registered for the first phase, the second phase was held on July 24 and over 4 lakh students across the country appeared for the exam, out of which only around 1.5 lakh candidates were fresh applicants.
According to the top court’s verdict, students who registered for Phase I were allowed to appear for the next phase of NEET on July 24 but with a rider that they will have to give up their Phase I score.
While the Supreme Court made it clear that medical and dental aspirants will have to compulsorily appear for the NEET in order to seek admission to colleges, an ordinance was passed by the central government and finally approved by President Pranab Mukherjee on May 24.
