#SupremeCourt is hearing a plea regarding a challenge to the upper-age limit for the NEET exam. The plea challenges the upper-age limit of 25 years for general category and 30 years for the SC/ST category candidates appearing in #NEET

Adv Gaurav Sharma appears for the respondent: the requirement if two year continuous study of 11th and 12th was always there

Sharma: The affidavits filed by the petitioners clearly show that they were aware of 11th and 12th class. In the present case students passed 12th but did not clear 11th

Justice BR Gavai: Physics, Chemistry, Biology require practical exams

Sr Adv Surendra K Gangele for petitioner: These students studied at Apple Public School, Chattarpur.

Gangele: Only state of MP wanted the 11th class marks, rest all other states like UP etc only wanted the 12th class marks.

Justice L Nageswara Rao: We cannot keep hearing this case

Gangele: states like UP etc do not bar private candidates from NEET counselling. This is what our Grievance is

Justice Rao confers with Justice BR Gavai

Sharma: Let the Director of Education Bhopal clarify if they have a two years of class 12 then it is fine

Justice Rao: Some better institutions even fail at the 11th standard. We will hear this with other matters now

Matter to be heard on February 25 next.
