Medical career aspirants and their parents in violence-hit Manipur have urged the National Testing Agency to defer the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) scheduled on May 7.
More than 5,000 candidates – many of them from the hill districts cut off from the centrally located Imphal Valley – were to have sat for NEET, the only national-level medical entrance examination in India for admission to various undergraduate courses, across 10 centres in Imphal.
