NEET 2017:Results to be declared by June 26 after Supreme Court lifts Madras HC stay

The CBSE will declare by June 26 the result of an exam for admission to the country’s medical and dental colleges after getting the go-ahead from the Supreme Court on Monday, bringing relief to more than a million students.
The Supreme Court stayed a Madras high court order that restrained the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) from declaring the result of the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) 2017.
“After the court’s go-ahead we have started the process of preparing the result… We will declare the results within two weeks,” a CBSE official told HT.
The board would have to put online more than a million answer sheets and the process would take a few days but the result would be out not later than June 26, the official, who didn’t wish to be identified, said.
A vacation bench of justice Prafulla C Pant and justice Deepak Gupta accepted the CBSE’s argument that if the stay was not vacated, college schedules would be thrown out of gear.
“The high court shouldn’t have easily and liberally interfered with the schedule,” the bench said of the May 24 order.
