    The Supreme Court is hearing a plea filed by 41 PG Qualified Doctors challenging abrupt "last minute changes" in the exam pattern of NEET SS 2021.

    A bench comprising Justices DY Chandrachud, Vikram Nath and BV Nagarathna is hearing the petition.

    Senior Advocate Shyam Divan is appearing for the petitioners. Yesterday, the National Board of Examination filed an affidavit stating that the pattern was revised to bring in more flexibility in the admission process and to ensure that the students are tested only on the basis of the courses which they know.

    The NBE also proposed to defer the exams- originally scheduled on November 13/14 - by two months to January 10/11, 2022 to give more time to students to prepare as per the revised pattern.

      Divan : We have challenged the scheme here. This scheme departs from what was holding the field & the patterns that were followed. Even respondents have now agreed that the changes are radicalt but they say they have their reasons.

      Senior Advocate Shyam Divan submits that radical changes have been introduced after the exam dates were announced. That is impermissible.
