Legal remedy for altering the eligibility for appearing in Neet exam


03-Feb-2023 (In Civil Law)
The Ministry of Health in direct contravention of it's powers has decided to fix the upper age for appearing in Neet examination as 25 , even though many states like U.P and many reputed institutions have no system in place. At best they are in legal authority to fix maximum age for All India Quota seats which has been the practice till last year. What legal remedy can I seek against this grave injustice?

You can file a petition seeking for the quashing of such arbitrary rule of the government regarding the age limit. Since the medical profession is a noble profession and there would be no harm to it even if the person above the age of 25 applies for it , since the medical study is a time taking study and a non serious person would hardly apply for the study which takes important years . You can validly challenge the rule .

You may file a writ petition in Supreme Court challenging the notification. However, it needs detailed research in order to challenge the same and you must file it before the NEET is held this year. Goodluck!
