CBSE today conducted Single National eligibility cum Entrance Test for under-graduates seeking admissions to MBBS and BDS courses; this is the first NEET exam after the Supreme Court ruling of 28th April mandating single exam for admissions to medical courses.

The first phase of the single National Eligibility Entrance Test, NEET for admissions to MBBS and BDS courses was held across the country on Sunday.

The Supreme Court on Saturday refused to accord an urgent hearing to a plea seeking modification of its earlier order related to NEET.

Lawyers, representing some students, said that the order on NEET needed to be modified as students who had prepared for the state-level entrance exams will find it difficult to prepare for the NEET in such a short span of time.

The Supreme Court had earlier said that the entrance test for admission to MBBS and BDS courses for the academic year 2016-17 will be held as per the schedule through the two-phased common entrance test NEET on 1st May and 24th July.
