New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed the plea seeking postponement of the NEET-PG examination scheduled for August 11, 2024. In order words, the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-PG) 2024 will be conducted as per the schedule. i.e. on August 11, 2024. A bench headed by CJI D.Y. Chandrachud directed the registry to list the matter for hearing on Friday(August 9) after advocate Anas Tanwir, representing petitioners, mentioned the plea for urgent listing.
“How can we postpone such an exam. Mr Sanjay Hegde, nowadays people just come asking to postpone the exam. It’s not a perfect world. We are not academic experts. “As a matter of principle, we will not reschedule the exam. There are two lakh students and four lakh parents who will weep over the weekend if we postpone it. We cannot put the careers of so many candidates in jeopardy. We do not know who is behind these petitions,” the bench said, PTI reported.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said it can’t put the careers of two lakh students in jeopardy for five students.  Senior advocate Sanjay Hegde, appearing for the petitioners, submitted that rescheduling the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Postgraduate) (NEET-PG) is needed because there is one exam in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The plea said many candidates have been allocated cities which are highly inconvenient for them to reach. It said the test cities were allotted on July 31 and the specific centres will be declared on August 8.
