NEET ordinance: Health Minister Nadda to meet President today

May 23, 2016 08:32

Union Health Minister JP Nadda will meet President Pranab Mukherjee on Monday to explain the rationale behind taking the ordinance route to keep state boards out of the ambit of uniform medical entrance examination, NEET, for this year.

After his ministry was asked by the President to explain the reasons for taking the ordinance route, Nadda will call on Mukherjee in the afternoon to offer clarifications, official sources said today.

Mukherjee is leaving for China on Tuesday.

The ordinance, cleared by the Union Cabinet on Friday, is aimed at "partially" overturning a Supreme Court order which said all government colleges, deemed universities and private medical colleges would be covered under the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
