Benefit of exemption from GST - educational institution or not - The court scrutinized the applicability of GST on four categories of services: (a) Conduct of entrance exams like NEET. (b) Awarding of qualifications like Diplomate of National Board (DNB) and Fellow of National Board (FNB). (c) Conducting screening tests for foreign medical graduates. (d) Accreditation services to institutions. - The court found that for conducting NEET and other entrance exams, as well as for awarding DNB and FNB qualifications, the petitioner qualifies for GST exemption. However, for screening tests and accreditation services, the court held that these do not fall under the exempt categories as they are not direct educational activities or services provided directly to students.
