  1. 11th and 12 std. syllabus is not the same for all the various boards across the country. So CBSE students have an unfair advantage as the core syllabus is based on their syllabus

    • Andhra Pradesh is asking for exemption from NEET for two years on the grounds of variations in syllabus. Though the center is positive on this demand, it is Supreme Court which has to take final decision on the issue. The entire NEET issue is being dealt by Supreme Court and MCI and Central Government are just acting on the guidelines of the Apex Court. Hence you may need to wait and watch for the decision of the court which will be out in a few days.

  5. neet is good decision. Please ensure that the core syllabus have human physiology and anatomy. as studying medical we have to cure human being not plant. conducting the neet in feb is not good it should be in may or june 2012.student get freed from there 12 th board papers and can devote much time to prepare for new syllabus.

  6. RESPECTED SIR,
    It should be cleared that if NEET will held on this year(2012) or not as soon as possible. As the syllabus has not till finalised we are in a crossroad and it is difficult for us, mainly the students of state board to sit for the examination if it is held on january-february. We will be very grateful if human physiology is given more importance than botany in the core syllabus.
