The state government on Wednesday declared it will not hold National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for medical colleges in state this year. The government spokesperson said that the union government law will not be implemented in Gujarat. NEET will now be held in 2012.

State Health minister Jaynarayan Vyas said, “The test will come into force from 2012. Students wishing to pursue in paramedical or dentistry in Gujarat, will have to appear for GujCET. If the NEET is introduced in the state, students will have to appear for a series of tests.”

If NEET is implemented here, it will allow class XII students to sit in a single entrance examination to get admission to almost all medical colleges in India.
