medical education
The Supreme Court has agreed to have a relook at its judgment scrapping the single common entrance test for admission to MBBS, BDS and postgraduate courses in all medical colleges, which was delivered three months back.The court decided to grant oral hearing to the Centre and other petitioners who had sought a review of its July 18 majority (2-1) verdict that had quashed the notification for National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) on the ground that it violated the rights of private institutions to administer such institutions.A Bench comprising Justices H.L. Dattu, A.R. Dave and Vikramjit Sen, issued notice to all private and minority medical colleges on whose plea the apex court had scrapped NEET.A review petition is normally decided in chamber proceedings without giving an opportunity to parties concerned to argue the case.The judgment quashing NEET was delivered by a three-judge Bench headed by (then) Chief Justice Altamas Kabir. ‘Policy is legal’ His view was shared by Justice Sen, while Justice Dave dissented and upheld NEET, saying the policy was “legal” as it would stop corrupt practice which enabled undeserving students to get admissions by paying huge capitation fees or donations.One of the petitioners seeking review, NGO ‘Sankalp’, said in its plea that the minority view in the judgment rightly held that if NEET is conducted under the supervision of the apex professional body, no extraneous and irrelevant factors like caste, creed, social or economic standing would come into play.

It is a sad day today for the Indian democracy and medical education .The supreme court of our country has derecognized the powers of regulatory medical authority MCI . The verdict has effectively prevented it from doing it’s duty in a proper manner .
It is more curious to note the comment made by the judges , that it will unconstitutional for the MCI to take efforts (Conduct Exams ) to stream line medical education. It is an escapist attitude to fall on a legal point when justice is expected from the country’s highest court.
Of course we have some hope as a lone judge has shown strong dissent . If the court had felt MCI has no legal powers to do this cleansing work .It should have advised the Govt to empower the MCI by advising proper amendments of it’s act .
I pity for MCI . All it’s efforts over the past few years where nullified by a single stroke. It is a dangerous verdict for the future of medical education in our country , which is witnessing unparalleled corrupt practices .
Still there is hope and possible solution if only the Government has a will .The honorable supreme court has said nothing against NEET .It has only said MCI has no powers to conduct it . The MCI can simply hand over the NEET administration to a third party under the guidance of central health ministry .

When there is AIEEE for engineering entrance common exam for IITs and

through out India wts bad in NEET?from: rajesh Posted on: Jul 19, 2013 at 00:18 IST
India is experimenting with the Tuglug`s fancies and will have to pay heavily for all these.
The politicians who become ministers may first better understand there is an active judiciary existing this country and so every decision has to be made after learning a little more about things before going public.
NEET has gone for now. But I think it may return in another form soon or later.To ensure it the Union Govt should establish 25-30 nationally funded medical colleges in all the states and the union territories. That will be a great thing for the most meritorious students in the state.

neet or no neet. confusion will always prevail with state examination
entrance. again the confusion will start of filling of multiple forms
and clashing of dates. BUT main culprit will always be the unjustified
and unequal quota system. from: alok bahl Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 20:10 IST
NEET will be held in 2014 or not?????from: Pawan kumar Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 18:50 IST
This will only help private medical colleges to exploit further.
Medical aspiring Students across the country will suffer a lot in terms
time, money and travel. Govt should amend the law or should form an
institute to conduct the neet.
NEET should be conducted at any cost.

Ultimately, all the policymakers will also get affected when quality of doctors will fall down.from: Ankur Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 18:05 IST
Private colleges will have the last laugh. Those who can pay crores will
get in postgraduation in private colleges. As for health care for all,
it will only be for those who can afford. Also with all the uncertainty
regarding admsissions to postgraduation, the best and brightest are a
frustrated lot. from: Philip Umman Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 17:38 IST
A majority of people who supported NEET, did so due to its similarity with USMLE but this was only a superficial view. NEET was supposed to be of 3 hours duration while the total testing time for USMLE is 41 hours. In addition, USMLE also gives weight to past record of the students and an interview. Since nothing of that was planned for NEET, it is futile to presume that it would have given a true picture of the ability of a student- computer based testing notwithstanding. But in the process, it meant that a number of deserving students would have been left out and would have to waste a year because there was no other option to them. True that none of the examinations in India has the capacity to predict true knowledge of the student but then there are chances available if a student does not make in a single examination. Rather than pushing for another single examination, MCI and MOHFW should consult people who know about student assessment. from: Tejinder Singh Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 17:34 IST
NEET is a very very transparent exam and has removed all sort of
middlemen/brokers for Govt seats at Centre as well as States level.
This exam has provided equality in med exams and has provided fair
chance to student. It has reduced academic burden on students and
provided them very fair competition.from: SANJU Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 17:30 IST
NEET is a very good and fair entrainece for al kind of people, mostly for the poor student. As they can not pay lakhs of rs. for Studys.
Govt. are requested to look into the matter, so that all student from verious part of the country can able give Participate the entrance in one syllabus, and able to prove their eligibilityfrom: Robin roy Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 17:05 IST
It is a good decision.
Students struggle and study hard to prepare for the entrance.
The SYllabus is so vast that it is practically impossible for one to be 100% prepared.
If there is only one entrance, the fate of the students will be like a ODI or T20 Match- with lot of dependance on luck on that specific day.
If there are more exams - at least students have something to fall back
If NEET is introduced again, the exam should be on the lines of earlier Common Entrance managed by AIIMS- one exam-one day- one paper across the country and there should be provision for at least 2 or 3 entrance Exams in a year.from: Harry Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 16:49 IST
The very idea of conducting a single entrance exam was to make it easier
both academically and economically for the students to prepare and
appear for the exam . But due to the lack of coordination and confidence
between central and state govt. it has been proven a nightmare for the
students who are to be affected most by such ambiguity in policy !
and this decision of SC has made the situation even worse !!from: ashish yerekar Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 16:47 IST
SC should have considered whether there was malafide intention in the
new scheme. Our archaic systems need quick overhaul. Our law makers are
great sleepers and do not have time for enacting quick changes in laws.
SC should have respected the NEET framed by eminent doctors.from: b v rao Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 16:08 IST
A shocking judgement indeed for hapless students and parents. The only
beneficiary is the private medical college which in the name of
admission fleeces parents with nearly 1 crore.from: mohan Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 16:00 IST
I would like to point out a mistake in this article.
1.Only the awarding of marks and rank was supposed to be carried out
through neet , so as to root out corruption.
Everything else was supposed to go on according to the policies of the
institute or the state government .Be it fees , or reservations or
quota for state government service doctors or rural service bond etc.
The only change NEET was supposed to bring in was that the back door
entry of students through heavy donations amounting to crores
of rupees.
The entrance exams conducted by these private institutions
leaving a few like Manipal are farce and just a front for the
admissions being given through donations.from: Dr Arijit Ganguly Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 15:58 IST
why not available. AIIMS conducts exams for UG and PG seats. Otherwise
also, how long it takes to change MCI rules. Give them power to conduct
exam. NBE also can conduct centralised exam. It is govt who does not
want centralised exam.from: sarojini Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 15:40 IST
Yay!!! Neet should go away!from: Rhythm Mathur Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 15:40 IST
if united states can conduct a single USMLE exam to all it's students as well for foreign students.....then why can't india follow NEET??
from: vamsi krishna Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 15:37 IST
NEET from start has been imposed on India. Better option should have
been: there should be 3 medical entrance exams for both UG & PG. 1st
should be State level for state quota seats. For all india seats - there
should be option of selecting 1 of 2 entrance tests - Merit via AIPMT or
Merit via an online exam held by Manipal or on pattern of BITS Pilani.
MCI act should be properly amended by Parliament or Supreme Court to
achieve this end. But the judgement is UNFAIR. from: s k bansal Posted on: Jul 18, 2013 at 15:21 IST
