NEET is only medical related. They came to meet me. We will examine what they are saying but at the same time, we have to understand that there are 2,000 people who have applied within the due time. I’ve told the secretary, to check it out, subject to double confirmation. But if someone says that I did not know, I do not agree with him, if these figures rare right.” rSpeaking further, he said, “Now giving them opportunity is another issue, they have some legal implications. Because those who applied within the due date, they may tomorrow go to the court. So I have to see if legally there is a sense in giving more time as the number of people who are requesting to accept the forms is less than 100 whereas some 1900 odd people applied under B2, for medical seats.”
