Medical Entrance Exam: Parents launch last-ditch effort against SC verdict

A day after the Supreme Court made the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) mandatory as the only gateway for admission to a medical programme, parents of medical aspirants from across the state have decided to write to President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to protest.

Since the verdict cancelled the Mahrashtra Common Entrance Test (MH-CET), which many students attempted on May 5, students are under a lot of stress. They had prepared for the exam for two years and now they have got just two months to prepare for NEET phase II, which will be conducted in July.


To make a last-ditch effort, parents from across Maharashtra are trying to gather support from all over the country in writing a letter to the President and the Prime Minister, asking them to review the situation.

Nayan Verma, a physics teacher associated with a medical entrance coaching institute, said, “Parents are leaving no stone unturned in getting the state exempted from NEET this year. Parents from states other than Maharashta are equally stressed and everybody is trying to come together through a signature campaign and a letter that will be sent to the PM and the President.”

He added, “It is very interesting to know that the Supreme Court is willing to let dance bars run, but has no mercy on lakhs of children aspiring for medical seats and are struggling after the court’s decision.”
