NEET 2017 to be Counted as First Attempt

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has clarified the NEET 2017 will be counted as first attempt for all the candidates, irrespective of their previous attempts in AIPMT/NEET. Earlier, the CBSE has announced that aspirants who have already given AIPMT and NEET 2016 over three times are ineligible to appear for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test.

From 2017 onward, the candidates who are appearing in single medical entrance examination i.e. National Eligibility-Cum-Entrance Test (NEET) will be counted as their first attempt. All candidates who could not fill up the application form due to the condition of three attempts at AIPMT/NEET will now be able to fill up their application form.

As per the reports, over 10 lakh students are likely to appear for NEET on May 7. The registration procedure has already begun and will conclude on March 1, 2017.
