The education board seeks clarification on medical examination

Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) have sent a letter to state health department seeking clarification on medical examination and admission procedure for medical course.

It has asked the department whether the state is conducting admission on the basis of Gujarat Common Entrance Test (Guj CET) or will follow the regular NEET.

According to GSHSEB officials, the board which conducts the examination has still not made any arrangement for conducting GujCET. "There is no clarification over admission rules, or on whether to conduct GujCET or follow NEET. Hence we have sought clarification from the health department which is supposed to frame the rules," said an official.

With no updates regarding the medical admission, approx 35,000 to 40,000 students have no clue whether they will have to appear for GujCET as well. 

In 2013, the state had decided to hold GujCET for admissions in medical and dental courses across the state, if there was any delay in holding NEET for medical admissions.
