The Supreme Court on Friday adjourned to Monday a plea seeking directions to the Central Board of Secondary Education to change exam dates of CBSE Class 12 private, patrachar and compartment exam dates. This year, the CBSE 12th offline exam dates are clashing with competitive exams. NTA informed the court that the students have been allowed to take the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET 2021) scheduled for September 12.
The plea also sought directions to ensure that colleges and universities admit students who were to appear for the Private Patrachar exams and 2nd Compartment exams on a provisional basis and not reject their applications due to the delayed results.
The CBSE board offline improvement exam was started on August 25. It is scheduled to be conducted till September 15, 2021. The matter is in Supreme Court as a section of students are demanding to postpone NEET 2021. Their issue is that the exam is close to other competitive exams and CBSE offline exams.
