The National Testing Agency on Friday (Sept 3) announced that the CBSE Compartment, Private and Patrachar students can appear for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) before declaration of their results.

The NTA said that the non-declaration of results for CBSE Private, Compartment and Patrachar exams for Class 12 will not prevent the students from appearing in NEET-UG exam. This announcement comes from the NTA after petitioners said they were unable to appear for NEET UG exam scheduled on September 12 since it clashed with CBSE's offline exams.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court also heard another writ petition which sought for directions to change the date sheet of CBSE compartment, private and patrachar exams and to declare the results early so that they won’t clash with other entrance tests. However, the apex court adjourned the pleas to September 6 for further hearing.
