The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused a plea by doctors, mostly final-year medical students who served as frontline workers in COVID wards, to extend the deadline for completion of internship beyond July 31. The completion of internship is a prerequisite for taking the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Post Graduate (NEET-PG) 2022.
A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said any further extension would disrupt the academic schedule.
