NEET Update as on 11-12-12:

Several medical colleges(76 colleges) have moved the Supreme Court seeking exemption from NEET  on the ground that they are religious or linguistic minority institutions.
These colleges claim autonomy in administration of their educational institutions under Article 30 of the Constitution and their plea was started hearing on 11-12-2012,tuesday by the supreme court bench.
Flash back:
  •  interim order: the court had on 10th. October allowed one institution (CMC,VELLORE) to receive applications for its own entrance examination for filling MBBS seats. 
  • But after hearing Medical Council of India counsel Nidesh Gupta, the court had put a caveat saying this "will not entitle the respondent institution to claim any equity on the basis thereof".
  • any how, This interim order allowing minority education institutions to receive applications from candidates for an individual entrance test for filling their respective under-graduate medical seats was extended to all colleges which approached the apex court invoking Article 30.
  • so,In the days to come,the apex court will witness an interesting constitutional battle as private institutions have engaged renowned lawyers like K K Venugopal, Harish Salve, Rajeev Dhavan and P P Rao.
