New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday adjourned a plea seeking directions to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to change dates of Class 12 Private, Patrachar and Compartment exams till Monday.
The dates of the CBSE offline exams are clashing with other competitive exams, including the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2021.
The Plea sought directions to ensure that colleges and universities admit students who were to sit for the Private Patrachar exams and second compartment exams on a provisional basis and not reject their applications owing to the delayed results.
Advocate Anjaneya Mishra, appearing on behalf of the petitioner, requested for the top court’s direction to the University Grants Commission (UGC) that colleges do not take admissions until CBSE private candidates’ results are out.
Advocate Rupesh Kumar, appearing for CBSE, said, “The last date for exam is September 16 and results will be declared by September 30, the schedule was approved by this court.”
The CBSE board offline improvement exam started on August 25 and will continue till September 15. The matter is in Supreme Court after a section of students demanded the postponement of NEET 2021.
