Several members Lok Sabha today opposed holding of the first phase of common entrance test for MBBS and BDS courses on this Sunday saying it gives little time to students for preparation.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court had agreed to the Centre’s plan of two-phased common entrance exam for medical courses to be held on 1st of May and 24th of July.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Jagdambika Pal of BJP said a single-phase test should be held on 24th of July to give all students equal time for preparation.
He said, the two dates for National Eligibility Entrance Test will give advantage to students taking the exam in the latter phase and the students who have to appear for it this Sunday would be under stress. His demand also got support of other members of the House.
