Medical entrance exam to be conducted in 80 cities on May 7
FOR REGISTRATIONS WHICH WILL BE OPEN FROM JANUARY 31 TO MARCH 1, STUDENTS CAN LOG ON TO WWW.CBSENEET.NIC.IN
“NEET 2017 will be conducted in 80 cities this year. Keeping in mind the enormity of the exam, we are making arrangements for more than 1,500 exam centres and expecting close to 10 lakh applicants,” stated a circular released by CBSE on Tuesday evening.
NEET was first introduced in 2013 when Maharashtra scrapped their own medical entrance test for medical admissions to medial colleges.
Based on a petition filed at the Supreme Court in 2014, NEET was
scrapped by the court and the state conducted its own CET based on the
NEET syllabus. In 2015, the MH-CET was conducted on the basis of state
board syllabus. In April 2016, however, the SC again lifted the ban on
NEET and proposed to conduct admissions to MBBS, BDS and post-graduate
courses through this one common test.
The Maharashtra state government decided to conduct admissions to all health science courses based on the NEET score for 2017, scrapping CET for medical admissions in the state.
“Question papers for the test will be conducted based on a common syllabus, as notified by the Medical Council of India,” said the circular.
Details of the syllabus is mentioned on the NEET website. Based on the SC order, the CBSE has also announced that the NEET exam will be conducted in ten different languages, including English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Oriya, Bengali, Assamese, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada. However, despite requests, Urdu has not been included this year.
