Pvt. minority institutions can hold ownMedical entrance exams tests: SC

New Delhi:(Page3 News Network)-The Supreme Court has allowed private minority institutions, both religious and linguistic, to hold their own entrance tests for undergraduate and postgraduate medical courses but declined to stay the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test NEET for the academic year 2013-14.
A bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and Justices S S Nijjar and J Chelameswar in an interim order allowed 76 minority medical colleges, who were seeking exemption from NEET, to conduct their own tests to fill MBBS and MD seats.
The court, however, posted the petitions on this case for final hearing on January 14. It said the fate of the individual tests would be subject to the final outcome in court.
