NEET 2017 Counselling dates extended

New Delhi, July 6: The Supreme Court has given green signal to the extension of dates for counseling of students here on Wednesday, who have cleared the NEET exam to join medical and dental courses across the country.

The apex court allowed the MCI's plea as per the list of dates provided by its counsel, according to which the admission process for MBBS course would be completed by 28 August and admission in the dental course by 10 September.

A bench of Justices Dipak Misra and N.V. Ramana extended the date for counseling after MCI's counsel said there was a delay in announcement of the result of NEET due to the interim order of Madras high court which had restrained CBSE from publishing the results.
