given to students to undergo M.B.B.S. courses and M.D. courses. On 18th September, 2009 the Supreme Court directed a single entrance examination to be conducted and based on the marks admissions in undergraduate and post graduate medical courses to be given. This led M.C.I. to issue Regulations to conduct a Common Entrance Examination and the syllabus of CBSE prepared by NCERT was notified the area of knowledge on which students taking NEET examination were to be tested. The petition highlights that the syllabus prescribed by NCERT in comparison to the syllabus of State Board in Maharashtra differs by 40% to 75% in different disciplines and highlights that in the NEET-12, students from Maharashtra would suffer and thus, direction sought is that in the ensuing examination, State of Maharashtra be exempted from NEET examination, meaning thereby, for medical colleges in the State of Maharashtra, students should be subjected to a Common Entrance Examination to be conducted not by M.C.I. and/or the authority nominated by M.C.I. or the authority nominated by the Supreme Court.
