The bench comprising of Justice SA Bobde, JusticeL.Nageswara Rao and Justice R.Subhash Reddy issued the following interim order in the special leave petition filed against a Delhi High Court judgment. Issuing notice to the National Testing Agency shall remain open for one week to enable such candidates to apply for the NEET-UG 2019 examination.
For further hearing the bench had posted the matter in January 2019.Previously the NEET regulations had fixed the upper age limit as 25 years for candidates appearing for National Eligibility Entrance Test and seeking admission to programme.
The Delhi High Court had dismissed the challenge against the fixed age limit to reduce the difficulty level among the candidates as competition between young aspirants and aspirants of 25 or more will make the test more tough as the latter are studying for 7 to 10 years or even more only to get admission to an MBBS course.
