The Supreme Court has refused to entertain a plea seeking modification of its order on National Eligibility Entrance Test.

In reply to a petition, filed by a group of students, the court said 'let the exams go on'.

On Thursday, the court had fixed the timeline for conducting the NEET for admissions to MBBS and BDS courses and clarified that its directive will supersede all other orders relating to medical admissions.

Students who filed the petition seeking modification of NEET order said syllabus of the Central Board of Secondary Education and state boards are different and they won't have time to prepare.

The Supreme Court, however, told the students, "Nothing stops you from preparing for exams."

First phase of NEET examination will be held on May 1.

Students who have registered for the All-India Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Test, that will now be NEET phase 1, feel they are at a disadvantage as those who take NEET in phase 2 will get nearly three months more to prepare. The second phase of NEET is scheduled on July 24 for candidates who have not registered for AIPMT.
