Now it is official. The common medical entrance exam will be conducted by the Medical Council of India from next year. The test will be called National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) and its core syllabus has been uploaded on the MCI website.
The council is now seeking feedback via e-mail (neet-ug@mciindia.org) till August 11 from the people in general. According to the MCI, the core syllabus of NEET has been prepared by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), comprising physics, biology and chemistry.
On physics syllabus, the MCI says, "due care has been taken that it is not heavy and at the same time it is comparable to international standards. The syllabus provides logical sequencing of the subject matter with proper placement of concepts with their linkages for better understanding."
On chemistry syllabus, the MCI says, "the course is self-contained and broadly covers fundamental concepts of chemistry. An attempt has been made to see discipline of chemistry does not remain only the science of facts but becomes related to modern applications in the world around us."
The matter was pending in the Supreme Court, but on Monday it gave the final nod to MCI for conducting the exam from 2012. ADN Rao, legal counsel for a student in the case, said, "The final decision given by the Supreme Court is the best one possible. Students are being made to give dozens of exams which would now change. There is no question of anyone appealing against this decision at all. It is final."
Chandrakant Satija, regional director of a national coaching institute, went through the NEET syllabus and found that it was almost similar to the CBSE study material for std XI and XII. "After studying it in detail I would say there is hardly 5% difference between NEET and CBSE syllabus, and that too only in certain units of physics. But if you compare the NEET syllabus with Maharashtra state board then the difference is about 50% across all subjects," said Satija.
In the city, students who are taking coaching for the state's premedical test, MHT-CET, find themselves at the crossroads. Anshu Jaiswal, a student, said, "I was not sure which exam I should prepare for at all. I finally went in for MHT-CET. But with this news coming in I wonder if the state's exam will be scrapped. Also, I would now have to re-enrol at some other coaching centre."
Though the Maharashtra government has still not made its stand clear on the MHT-CET, legal counsel Rao feels states will have no option but to do away with their respective tests. "I am not sure how that part will be worked out but these other tests will be redundant," said Rao.
