The provisions for age limit and number of attempts were decided in consultation with Medical Council of India (MCI) and Central board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Accordingly, these were included in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) Bulletin 2017 prepared and issued by CBSE. It was further clarified that the three attempts will be counted from 2017 onwards. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of Rai Sabyasachi and anr Vs. Union of India and Ors in WP (C) 99 of 2017 ordered to remove the age limit restriction for NEET-2017. The matter was further heard by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India dt. 10.07.2017 and decided that as far as the present year is concerned, nothing survives to be adjudicated in the Writ petitions and they are accordingly, disposed off.

In National Eligibility and Entrance Test- Under Graduate (NEET-UG), from the year 2017, three attempts have been fixed. In Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main too, there are three attempts.

Section 10D of Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 prescribes conducting of a uniform entrance examination namely National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to all medical educational institutions at undergraduate and post-graduate level.
The private medical educational institutions have a management quota which is decided by way of signing Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the respective State and the Institution. Admission to management quote is also through NEET and common counselling.

Following the CBSE’s inability to conduct the cancelled AIPMT 2015 entrance exam within a month, the Supreme Court on Friday gave two months time to the Board to conduct the exam, preferably before August 16.

Following paper leak and mass copying reports, the apex court cancelled the AIPMT held on May 3 and asked the board to re-conduct the AIPMT 2015 within a month. But the CBSE resisted the directive and sought three months time as it is alredy overburdened with other exams.

The Supreme Court has relented and gave the board time till August 16 to conduct All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) for medical and dental courses for the year 2015-16.

The Supreme Court vacation bench headed by Justice R.K. Agrawal extended time from initial 4 weeks to August 16 on CBSE’s plea.

The court has cancelled the AIPMT examination held on May 3 after the leak of the question paper and circulation of the answer keys through electronic devices across 10 States was detected.

The CBSE faced similar complaints when its 2014 Class 12 physics paper was leaked online a day before the exam but the exam was not cancelled as the board pleaded that not many were aware of it or in knowledge of it.
