The Gujarat Government today formed a three-member taskforce
to study the proposed National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for medical
education. NEET, all-India common entrance test for admission to medical
colleges, is proposed to be introduced in 2012-13 by the Medical Council of India
(MCI). The MCI has asked for the opinion of states regarding the NEET. "We have formed
a three-member taskforce to give us suggestions on how the NEET will affect the
students of Gujarat who wants to go for medical education," Health Minister Jaynarayan
Vyas told reporters here. "There is much anxiety among parents about NEET. So the
taskforce, headed by Dean of B J Medical College Bharat Shah has been asked to give
a report by August 5," he said. "After we receive the opinion of the taskforce we
will decide whether Gujarat will join NEET or not." He said a group of parents of
the medical education aspirants met him today and expressed reservations against
NEET.
