Aadhaar Card for NEET Examination

Aadhaar Card for NEET Examination

Whether the Government has made Aadhaar Card mandatory for students appearing in NEET examination for MBBS and BDS?

Central Government has clarified regarding this issue in the Parliament as follows…

Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to use Aadhaar for the applicants of NEET – 2017 keeping in view the following benefits –

• The use of Aadhaar for the applicants of NEET – 2017 will result in accuracy of the applicants’ detail
• This will also help in ascertaining identity of the applicants at the examination centres in a convenient and hassle free manner.
• Aadhaar obviates the need for producing multiple documents to prove one’s identity.

The above provisions are not applicable in J&K, Assam & Meghalaya for NEET – 2017.

There is no complaint received in this regard.
