The Supreme Court will hear today a petition to postpone the NEET-PG 2024 exam scheduled on August 11.
A 3-judge bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud will hear the matter(Vishal Soren @ Bishal Soren & Ors. v. National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences & Anr) after 10.30 AM.
The petitioners stated that many candidates who will be appearing in the exam have been allocated cities that are highly inconvenient for them to reach.
It is urged that the allocation of test cities was made on 31.07.2024 and the specific centres are scheduled to be declared on 08.08.2024. While the same was done to curb any malpractice in the examinations, the petitioner asserts that given the short notice, it has become highly difficult for students to make arrangements for their travel to their specific cities.
Besides deferring of the exam, the petitioners seek disclosure of the normalization formula of the four sets of question paper to candidates, so that any possibility of arbitrariness in the process is eliminated.
