The NDA Government on Friday May 20,2016 cleared an ordinance, or an executive order, to
defer the implementation of NEET or the National Eligibility cum
Entrance Test - a common test for medical and dental courses - for state
governments and their institutions. The deferment will be meant for
this academic year.
Centre's decision to postpone the exam came after a cabinet meeting today. The ordinance will now be sent to President Pranab Mukherjee for his approval.
The exam, however, will be applicable for those applying for Central government and private management institutions under the management quota.
The decision comes after state governments asked the Centre to consider the stress the students will face.
On Monday May 16,2016, two rounds of hectic meetings were held to build consensus before taking the Ordinance route.
First, Union Health Minister JP Nadda held meetings with health ministers of 14 states. Another meeting was later held between leaders of the Congress, the INLD, Left and PDP and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
So far 6.5 lakh students have already sat for the first phase of NEET held on May01,2016
The next phase of the exam is scheduled for July 24,2016

The Supreme Court on Thursday April 28,2016 gave the green signal for the CBSE to hold
the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) 2016-17 in two phases and
approved the Medical Council of India's schedule for the common
entrance exams for undergraduate medical and dental courses starting May
1.
A Bench of Justices Anil R. Dave, S.K. Singh and A.K. Goel revived the
NEET across all States despite strong protests from States like Tamil
