JAMMU, FEBRUARY 7: The Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) today said the issue of missing column in respect of some of the reserved categories of Jammu and Kashmir in the online application form for NEET-2017 would be addressed at the time of drawing of the State Merit List.

“After issuance of notification by CBSE for submission of online applications forms for NEET-2017 (undergraduate MBBS/BDS courses), several queries have been received by BOPEE from the aspiring candidates regarding missing column in respect of some of the reserved categories of the State,” the BOPEE said in a statement.

It said the matter was examined and it has been found that such a problem was noticed also at the time of filling up of the online NEET form for MD/MS/PG Diploma/MDS. “This problem cannot be resolved as of now. However, in case the application of the candidates is not accepted, online, without clicking any category, and if the category is mandatory then in absence of any relevant column available, candidates can click Open Merit category,” it said adding that however, at the time of drawing of the State Merit List, this issue can be addressed by the BOPEE.

“The matter has also been flagged by BOPEE with CBSE-NEET,” it said.
