NEW DELHI: Health Minister J P Nadda today said the government will hold more consultations with states on the issue of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) amid reports that an ordinance may be brought to bypass the Supreme Court ruling making the test mandatory for admission to medical courses.
He held a consultation meeting with state health ministers at AIIMS to discuss the problems the state governments were facing over the common medical entrance test.
“We will need more discussions with the state governments on the NEET issue. Today we had discussions on language, syllabus and state governments’ concerns over state medical entrance examinations.
“We have to solve all the problems of the states before NEET is conducted across the country,” Nadda said.
The Health Minister further said the Supreme Court will be apprised about the state governments’ apprehensions on NEET only after arriving at a conclusion.
“Met Health Ministers of States today. They shared their views on holding NEET this year.
“I have noted their many concerns about NEET this year. Will soon formulate further course of action,” Nadda later tweeted.
