Supreme Court: In a plea seeking the postponement of the NEET-PG 2024 examination. the three judge bench of Dr. DY Chandrachud, CJI and JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, JJ. refused to entertain the petition.
The petitioners argued that many candidates have been allocated cities which are highly inconvenient for them to reach. It said the test cities were allotted on 31-07-2024, and the specific centres will be declared on 08-07-2024. Further, the exam is scheduled to be held in two batches and the normalization formula is unknown to candidates, which gives rise to apprehensions of arbitrariness.
The Court said that “at the behest of 5 petitioners, we can’t put the career of 2 lakh students at jeopardy. Let there be certainty”.
The Court further added “as a matter of principle, we will not reschedule. There are two lakh students and 4 lakh parents who will weep over the weekend”
