 A seperate petition filed in SC for postponement of NEET

Besides the review petition, SC lawyers have filed a petition in the apex court as well for postponement of NEET 2020 examination. The petition is likely to be listed on Monday - September 7, 2020.

The Supreme Court will hear on September 4 the review petition filed by six Cabinet Ministers from opposition-ruled states against the August 17 order of the Supreme Court declining to postpone NEET-UG and JEE (Mains) exams amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The matter will be heard by he Bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan, BR Gavai and Krishna Murari.


NEET candidate Jasim, a resident of Saudi Arabia, said, "This is very impractical. I have not travelled alone before this. If my parents fly with me, we will have to bear extra cost which is an added burden at the moment. The time taken to complete the quarantine, appearing for exam and then completing quarantine here once back, will require a lot of leaves from work for them too. We are still working out what to do."NEET candidate Jasim, a resident of Saudi Arabia, said, "This is very impractical. I have not travelled alone before this.

MCI AGAINST THE POSTPONE..

The Medical Council of India (MCI) has submitted an affidavit before the Supreme Court against the postponement of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) Undergraduate (UG) 2020. The council said that the NEET 2020 exam cannot be further postponed. As per the MCI, the further postponement of the NEET entrance exam will be a "drastic deviation" from the academic schedule which "may affect the subsequent academic years" of the students.

The affidavit came in response to a plea filed by a NEET aspirant's father, who lives in a Gulf country. The father has sought that the undergraduate entrance exam to be either made online or examination centre be provided for close to 4,000 NEET candidates, residing in Gulf countries due to coronavirus pandemic.

However, the MCI has clearly stated that holding an online exam was not possible as NEET follows "paper book format" and that would compromise the "uniformity" of the examination.

Marrow or dams??

No matter, DAMS : Pros : GOOD FACULTY TEST SERIES LIVE CLASSES AVAILABLE IN ALL MAJOR CITIES (not considering satellite centres) Cons : For AIIMS Nov 2018, total of 3 coaching institutes claimed the top 10 toppers to be their own students. It seems that all the top 10 rankers were students of DAMS, BHATIA & PRIME. Its totally impossible and sheer marketing strategy of coaching institutes. All interviews are fake and scripted. The price vary for the coaching as per location and timing and it's usually more than 50k. It's weekend classes of around 12 hrs daily during which it's totally impossible to keep concentrating. Its not possible until you are on modafinil, but even with that you will just be able to take notes but everything which is being said goes above the mind. You will be sitting in very big crowd where even your best friend is also your competitor, you might feel lost and depressed. As the classes comes to end, they become more regular an...

Marrow vs prepladder

I am a pro user of both the apps since long. And on an average, I can tell you it will differ 5–10% on either side, ultimately your own views will matter more.  I am comparing them in all aspects, on generalized experience and reviews. Videos : I will tell, Marrow have slight upper hand here. In major subjects Medicine, OBGY, Pharmacology, Physiology, Biochemistry are really amazing and have better edge! In minor subjects too, Ophthalmology, Radiology, Anesthesia, Marrow have edge. In few subjects, like Anatomy, FM, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Dermatology, Prepladder has edge. In subjects I have not mentioned, both are very much identical!  But generalized, Marrow is very conceptual but lengthy compared to prepladder. So if you have time, Marrow>Prep. QB : In QB no doubt Marrow is better. be it practice, be it detailed explanations, be it controversies… And believe me, Marrow has 17000 MCQs compare to 13000 of prepladder! Option of custom module provide amazing boost t...
