Supreme Court upholds NEET
In other developments, the Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for graduate and undergraduate courses in medical and dental courses in the country.
In a batch of writ petitions titled 'Christian Medical College, Vellore vs Union of India' which were filed in 2012, the bench ruled that prescribing a uniform examination does not violate rights of unaided/aided minor institutions
The petitions had challenged the constitutional validity of the NEET notifications issued by the Medical Council of India and Dental Council of India. The notifications were later incorporated as statutory provisions in 2016 as Sections 10D of the Medical Council of India Act and the Dentists Act.
The bench comprising of Justices Arun Mishra, Vineet Saran and MR Shah upheld the constitutional validity of these statutory provisions and stated that NEET was introduced to weed out corruption in admission processes, and also to set a uniform stand across the nation.
