NEET: Students who appeared in NEET I can also take NEET II, allows Supreme Court

New Delhi: In a major decision with regard to National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET), the Supreme Court on Monday said that the students who took NEET I can also appear for NEET II.

"Students who took NEET I can appear for NEET II as well," said Supreme Court, according to a report in Indian Express.

Earlier, on Friday, SC had said that NEET-II, scheduled for July 24, will allow only those candidates who have not appeared in the May 1 NEET-I exam irrespective of whether or not they had filled up the forms.

According to the court order, CBSE’s AIPMT on May 1 has to be considered as NEET-I exam.

According to the schedule, the All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) scheduled for May 1 was treated as the first round of the NEET.

However, those who have not applied for AIPMT will be given opportunity to appear in round two on July 24.

The combined result will be declared on August 17, in order to complete the admission process by September 30 - the deadline set by the apex court in its previous orders.
