The Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to entertain fresh petitions to seek postponement of NEET (UG) 2020 for admissions to undergraduate medical and dental courses, slated to be held on 13 September.
A bench comprising Justices Ashok Bhushan, R. Subhash Reddy and M.R. Shah said that it not inclined to examine the matter as the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (UG) is scheduled to be held in a few days.
The National Testing Agency will hold the NEET (UG) for admissions to MBBS/ BDS and other undergraduate medical courses in approved/recognised medical/ dental and other colleges/institutes in India.
The apex court had rejected a bunch of PILs as well as a review petition filed by six Ministers from non-BJP ruled states to seek postponement of the exam.
The bench said: “Everything is over now. A review has been dismissed. The JEE is over. How can we consider this now?”
The bench replied that all arrangements will be made for NEET. It said that there cannot be different dates for holding entrance test in different states.
