The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition to postpone NEET PG 2022 exam, saying tinkering with the time schedule would lead to “chaos and uncertainty” and cause a “cascading effect”.
A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud accepted the Union government’s submission that “any delay in conduct of the exams would mean fewer doctors in hospitals” at a time when the nation was just coming out of the pandemic haze.
The court also noted that further delay in the exams would prejudice over two lakh students who have prepared for the exam.
