The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)
in a statement said that NEET-II will be held on July 24 this year, adding that online application could be submitted on the website .
It said that as per the directions of the Supreme Court, left out candidates who could not register or appear in NEET-I or those having the apprehension that they had not prepared well, subject to submission of an undertaking to give up their candidature for NEET-I, can apply in NEET-II.
