NEW DELHI: Both the aspirants from general and reserved categories have heavy jolted after the declaration of removing the upper age limit by Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has rejected the plea for ending upper age limit for candidates those are appearing in National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test of 2018
According to reports, the top court had on Friday denied interfering in a batch of applications seeking to quash a notification fixing the age limit of 30 years for aspirants under the reserved category appearing in the NEET Entrance Test of 2018. The ruling implies that the general category candidates older than 25 years, and those from the reserved category above 30 will not be able to appear in NEET entrance test this year. The order was passed by the apex court bench of Justices SA Bobde and L Nageswara Rao. While responding to the matter, the bench refused to interfere with the CBSE ' s decision to fix the upper age limit for the entrance test for admission to undergraduate medical and dental courses. The CBSE had imposed the age limit on the basis of a notification issued by the Medical Council of India on January 22, 2018, amending its Regulations on Graduate Medical Education, 1997. The last date for applying for NEET is March 9, 2018. The petition said the notification imposing the age limit on candidates violated the Constitution which guarantees the right to equality before the law to every person.
