IMPHAL, July 28: The Manipur MBBS/BDS Entrance Examination Parents/Guardians Association has said in a press statement that it has to clarify on the Supreme Court order of July 18, 2013, considering the call from certain sections of the people to start counseling for admission for MBBS/BDS
“The phrase ‘actions taken so far including admissions already given’ is self-explanatory”, it said, while adding that there is no room in the order for future admissions and admissions yet to be given on the basis of NEET and as there is no room for future admission on the basis of NEET.
“There cannot be room for counseling selection etc on the basis of NEET. All actions on the basis of NEET after July 18 will violate Supreme Court Order”, it said.
“The press release said that the Supreme Court has disposed by a common judgment and order dated July 18, 2013 TC(C) No. 98 of 2013 and the bench holding inter alia that the MCI is not competent to issue the notifications. The said notifications are quashed. However, the Supreme Court has further held that the order shall not invalidate actions so far taken under the amended regulations including the admission already given on the basis of NEET conducted by the MCI, Dental Council of India and other private medical institutions, and the same shall be valid for all purposes”, it said.
