16-yr-old not allowed to attend NEET

The Madras High Court on Tuesday set aside the order of a single judge permitting a 16-year-old girl, who had passed her Class 12 after obtaining double promotion from Class 7 to 9 owing to her high Intelligence Quotient (IQ), to write NEET though the minimum prescribed age is 17 years.

A division bench comprising Justice Pushpa Sathyanarayana and Justice Krishnan Ramasamy set aside the single judge’s order following the appeal moved by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the National Medical Commission (NMC).
