 SHILLONG: With the Centre deciding to seek a review of the Supreme Court judgement scrapping the common entrance test (NEET) for MBBS, BDS and post-graduate courses in medical and dental colleges, wait for the MBBS seat aspirants of the State gets longer.

Health and Family Welfare Minister AL Hek on Thursday said that the Government was still awaiting the official communiqué from the Centre on the allotment of the MBBS seats under the Central Pool.

He said that once the government received the official communiqué from the Centre, there would be any delay to release the list of candidates.

Hek said the state government had already made a formal request to the Centre to speed up the process.

on Wednesday, it was reported that Union Government was all set to seek a review of the Supreme Court judgement with the Law Ministry endorsing a proposal in this regard.

The Health Ministry, unhappy with the judgement, had proposed taking “legal and legislative recourse” to retain National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).

The Law Ministry has backed the proposal of the Health Ministry saying it was in agreement that if the split judgement was not discussed among judges, it was a fit case to seek a review.
