New Delhi, Mar 07: The Supreme Court said the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will not insist on Aadhaar-only identification for NEET and other all-India examinations, here on Wednesday.
A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief justice Dipak Misra directed the CBSE to upload the information on their website.
Besides Aadhaar, the candidates for NEET exams can show their passport, voter id or driving licence or give their bank account number for identity.
Earlier in the day, UIDAI had told the top court that it has not authorised CBSE to mandatorily take Aadhaar number of students to get themselves enrolled for appearing in NEET 2018 examination.
