Plea Filed Before SC Seeking For Re-Test Of NEET/JEE For Students Who May Have Missed Out Due To Unavoidable Circumstances

A plea has been filed before the Supreme Court seeking for suo moto cognizance to be taken of news reports of students being unable to take examinations such as NEET, JEE etc. due to "unforeseen, unavoidable circumstances amid COVID-19 situations" and to direct the National Testing Agency to arrange for the re-examination of such students on a later date. "It is submitted that if this Hon'ble Court does not take note of this act and not provide opportunity to all such students considering the inevitable and prevailing condition, the career of all such students will be put on peril for long and full academic year will be wasted who despite all odds and difficulties could not reach the examination centres or could not reach within time, which this Hon'ble Court did not wish to do so while declining to postpone the examinations". Accordingly, the plea prays for the Court to take suo moto cognizance of the news reports and to direct the Respondents to conduct a re-test on a fresh date to allow those students who missed NEET exams due to such circumstances.
