NEET FLASH NEWS: APEX court questions the MCI's AUTHORITY!

Supreme Court quashes common entrance eligibility test- NEET-2013, for admission in medical colleges.
The court questions the authority of MCI to dictate terms to both govt & private colleges! 
the court held that it was beyond the powers of MCI. 

Justice Vikramajit Sen & Justice A.Kabir,A stickler for discipline, procedures and rules pointed out the basic question- weather the MCI has any purview over country's medical education? is the MCI has any control over the admission procedures of both private & govt. medical colleges?

The SC said that medical and dental colleges will continue with their own exams and barred the Medical Council of India from conducting a common exam. 

The stand-off between the private medical colleges and the Medical Council of India (MCI) over NEET had left the future of nearly 4 lakh students in limbo. These students had appeared for the NEET on May 5 for admission to MBBS and BDS courses. The Medical Council of India (MCI) had brought in NEET to be applicable from the academic year 2013-14 to curb malpractices like capitation fee in admission to medical courses.

. The SC holds as ultra vires the notification for  (NEET) by 2:1 verdict. Justice A R Dave differs with the verdict of CJI Altamas Kabir (Altamas Kabir retires today)and Justice Vikramajit Sen. Justice Dave held that holding a single entrance test is legal. 

 In an interim order passed in May this year, the apex court had directed the Medical Council of India and all private colleges to start their admission process, as per the old guidelines where the MCI, state governments and private colleges conduct their separate exams.
Aspiring medicos have been arguing that a single NEET will make the admission process simpler and more transparent.
