Most of the students have the dream of becoming a doctor or engineer after school education or after getting higher education. So that after passing the IAS or other government services examination, they can move ahead in their life. It is also true that not everyone is able to pass these examinations, but if there is honesty in the system, then some capable students are definitely able to do so. Recently, cases of question paper leak in National Medical Entrance Examination (NEET) came to light.Coming in. Voices are also being raised that NEET exam should not be held at all. The interesting thing is that this demand is being raised not from the candidates but from some politicians. Now the question is that if the system of medical entrance examination NEET is abolished, then which system will be implemented in its place? In this, the question is also important that how were the medical entrance examinations conducted before the NEET system was implemented, and what were its merits and demerits? Why was there a need to implement NEET exam? If NEETIf the old system is implemented again in this place, what effect can it have on the future of the candidates in medical colleges? It is important to consider how appropriate it would be to dismantle the NEET system on the basis of the paper leak incident.  History of Medical Entrance Examination  Before the implementation of NEET, the examination was conducted at all India level by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in which MBBS students from various medical and dental colleges run by the Central Government, State Governments and other government authorities.And for admission to BDS degree course, at least 15 percent seats were reserved for the students passing this examination. It is true that due to some unscrupulous elements, students have suffered a setback due to paper leak at some places in NEET and UPSC examinations. However, the admission process in private educational institutions has always been a matter of controversy. Before NEET, private medical institutions used to conduct entrance exams, but most of the enrollment in them was based on the amount given to the colleges., Barring a few exceptions, one could get admission in private medical colleges by paying huge fees and a huge cash amount separately, so this system used to be a major reason for inequality in medical education. However, in the year 2012, the government took a decision to conduct a common examination in the country to get rid of the variety of examinations based on different provinces and colleges, against which the management of private colleges lodged an objection in the court. . In this case the court unfortunately While giving the decision in the interest of the management of private medical colleges, the common examination was canceled saying that it is a violation of the rights of private colleges.  the new order After the Narendra Modi government came to power at the Centre, the Indian Medical Council and the Dental Council of India filed a petition in the Supreme Court requesting it to reconsider its 2013 decision. Overturning the decision, a five-judge bench declared NEET exam constitutional and cleared the way for a common exam. It was felt that the understanding of 'NEET'After this examination, admission in MBBS is possible on the basis of merit not only in government colleges but also in private colleges. But ever since 'NET' examination has started, the source of earning through corruption in medical colleges has stopped. Some time ago, when the incident of paper leak in 'NEET' examination came to light, some political parties started demanding abolition of the note examination. It should not be forgotten that in all the medical and dental colleges in the entire country, a large number are made up of politicians.In such a situation, the managers of private medical colleges want to end the NEET exam and take the medical admission to the same old pattern, where they can get a chance to earn huge amount by conducting the entrance exam arbitrarily. Influenced by some incidents of paper leak and being misled by these people with vested interests, abolishing the NEET exam will again push us into the same blind well and medical admission will again become a game of rich people.
