NEET 2017: CBSE Caps Number of Attempts to 3 in NEET



CBSE has finally released the NEET UG 2017 application form on its official website i.e. www.cbseneet.nic.in. Candidates can fill examination form till 1st March 2017. As per the information bulletin, several changes have been made in the NEET this time. One major change is the introduction of capping on number of attempts in the medical entrance exam. It means that now a candidate can appear in NEET only 3 times and his age should be between 17 to 25 years (30 for reserved category students).


What makes the above eligibility criteria more harsh is that now candidates who have already appeared in AIPMT or NEET for three or more times, cannot participate in NEET 2017. Earlier, there was no such capping on number of attempts and hence medical aspirants used to appear in AIPMT every year. Even for the reserved category candidates, number of attempts is same with age relaxation of 5 years.

Due to historic verdict of the Supreme Court of India, NEET made a comeback last year and it will be operational at full scale from this year onwards. Admission in all Medical Colleges except AIIMS, will take place according to NEET result. Now, candidates who have already appeared in AIPMT or NEET thrice will have no other option but to abort their dream of becoming doctor.

There are tens of thousands of students who could not crack AIPMT/NEET in their previous three or more attempts and were preparing for NEET 2017. This decision is more painful for them. Now these students are complaining that CBSE should have informed them about it earlier. Their preparation is already in final stage. This decision will only spoil their one more year. Some are requesting central government to intervene in this matter.

MBBS and BDS seats are already fewer in number as compared to number of aspirants for it. The latest decision will make NEET more difficult as compared to that of AIPMT. Because, now one will get only three chances to crack this prestigious medical entrance examination.
