WB Medical JEE back with education department

The West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination Board (WBJEE) is all set to conduct the Medical Joint Entrance Examinations yet again. Going by the Supreme Court order, the health department will soon write to the higher education department to take over the exam's responsibility from 2014.

Earlier, on July 18, the apex court had held that the Medical Council of India had no power to conduct the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) and force it on the government and private medical colleges. The NEET is a single entrance-cum-eligibility-test for admission in all medical colleges in India.
