WBJEEB cancels medical joint test

India Blooms News Service | | 13 May 2016, 09:54 pm
Kolkata, May 13 (IBNS): Following the ruling of the Supreme Court, West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination Board (WBJEEB) on Friday declared to call off the medical entrance examination, which was scheduled to be held on May 17 from 9 am. to 11:30 am.

Earlier on Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that a common entrance examination - NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) - is necessary for all government-owned and privately-run medical colleges across India and no state can conduct own version of this test separately.

However, the WBJEEB said that engineering and pharmacy entrance examinations will be conducted on May 17, which is pre-scheduled.

The board also announced that it will refund application-fee to all students, who had applied for medical entrance test. The money refund procedure will be published later on WBJEEB's official website, the board further stated.
