NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on July 29 has issued a notice to the Medical Council of India (MCI) in a plea seeking exam centres for the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test- NEET 2020 in the middle east countries reported Live Law.
The Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was earlier filed in the SC by the parents of the NEET-UG 2020 aspirants residing in Doha, Qatar to seek a decision on the sanction of examination centres in Gulf countries.
Travelling restrictions faced by the aspirants
About 4,000 candidates who registered for the NEET entrance examination from Qatar in the Middle East have been facing trouble getting their documents attested from the Embassy of India in Qatar. And since, COVID 19 is still on the rise, many candidates are finding it difficult to travel internationally. Concern over 21 days of Quarantine accompanied by each aspirant who will travel internationally have also been pointed out by the candidates.
Prayers filed in the petition earlier
Acknowledging the problems faced by overseas aspirants, two prayers were filed in the plea earlier- an appeal to the Union of India to allocate NEET examinations centres in Qatar and other Middle-East countries and, if that is not possible, an appeal to postpone the NEET examination until the COVID 19 situation is normalised.
