The Karnataka Legislative Assembly on Thursday adopted resolutions against the delimitation of Lok Sabha and Assembly constituencies based on the coming census, "One Nation, One Election" proposal and National Entrance cum Eligibility Test (NEET).
"The Karnataka Assembly demands that the Central Government should not carry out the delimitation of constituencies on the basis of a census that happens in the 2026 census or thereafter. In case of increasing the number of seats based on the population, it should take into account the 1971 census to decide the number of Lok Sabha seats in a state and the assembly constituencies there," it said.
In the second resolution, the Congress government said the 'One Nation, One Election' proposal poses a threat to India's democratic and federal system. Meanwhile, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is expected to begin the counselling for NEET UG 2024 soon. The MCC will issue a detailed notification and schedule regarding the same soon. The notification will be released on its official website i.e. mcc.nic.in.
According to the schedule, the NEET UG 2024 counselling date was expected to be announced on 24 July 2024. Earlier, MCC issued an official notice requesting medical colleges to submit the MBBS seat matrix on its official portal by 20 July 2024.
On July 23, the Supreme Court announced that the NEET UG 2024 exam will not be cancelled. Following the court's decision, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced that the NEET UG 2024 final results would be announced within two days.
The Supreme Court's hearing was based on the conclusion of an expert panel from IIT Delhi, which determined that the 'ambiguous' question had only one correct answer. Previously, the NTA had awarded four marks to candidates who provided one of the two 'correct' answers, which the Supreme Court has now deemed incorrect.
