Review petition filed in SC against NEET-UG verdict
A review petition has been filed in the Supreme Court against its recent verdict refusing to conduct NEET-UG 2024 exam afresh.
NEET 2019: The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development has decided to conduct the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (UG) examination 2019 in pen and paper mode and in a single session in 2019. The government on Monday withdrew its decisions taken in July to hold the test twice a year and in online mode only.
The decision follows recommendations from the Ministry of Health, which raised concerns about conducting the exam twice a year saying such an arrangement might put additional pressure on students.
The health ministry also voiced concern about the online mode saying students living in rural areas might suffer.
