Delhi High Court has ruled that those students who pass from recognised open schools can appear for NEET Examination and it takes heavily on Medical council of India for not allowing these student to appear in NEET  examination as MCI cannot differentiate between recognised open schoold and schools running under different state and central Boards .

       Previously The health ministry has asked Medical Council of India (MCI) to reconsider its decision to bar students of National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) from appearing for NEET this year.This has given a flicker of hope to thousands of medical aspirants, writing their Class XII through the NIOS board, who were to appear for NEET.
                              The ministry in its letter dated February 1 contended that CBSE had granted recognition to NIOS and considered it equivalent to other recognized boards. It also observed that excluding NIOS qualification for NEET would be unreasonable and unjust as around 1,500-2,000 students from NIOS board wrote the test every year.
                MCI had in November last year barred open school students from appearing for NEET citing the absence of classroom training including practical examination in their curriculum. The health ministry had declared NIOS as a recognized qualification in the country after discussing the matter with CBSE and ministry of human resource development (MHRD).

            On the other hand, the MCI said it had made it clear in its recommendations as to why NIOS was not equal to other boards. Asked on the letter from the ministry, vicepresident of Medical Council of India, Dr C V Bhirmanandham, said it was a collective decision of the executive committee. However, they would further discuss the issue before coming to a conclusion.
                  Meanwhile, trustee of SSVM institutions in Coimbatore, S Mohandoss, said such a sudden decision had caused irreparable damage to NIOS as students had lost interest in it now.
