The Supreme Court on Tuesday turned down the requests of Petitioners pertaining to waiver of submission of articleship and priority vaccination of CA candidates during the hearing of the three petitions related to the CA exams.
(i) Alternate options for the condition of RT-PCR certificate.
(ii) Ensuring that exam centres are not used for other purposes like marriage function and that their exclusivity is maintained.
(iii) Examiners who are going to conduct exam should have RTPCR tests done before the date of exams.
(iv) In case of last minute change of exam centre, option to select alternate exam centre or opting out should be given to the candidate.
(v) If during the middle of exam a candidate suffers Covid, he should be permitted to take the remaining papers in the next cycle.
Later during the day, the ICAI submitted a note stating that the 'opt out' option can be extended to all COVID affected candidates. Read more about the note submitted by ICAI here.
The Court will hear the case tomorrow.
