Petition to Postpone the NEET PG 2024 Exam to Be Heard by Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of India has agreed to hear a petition on August 9, 2024, seeking to postpone the NEET PG 2024 exam, which is currently scheduled for August 11, 2024. This decision follows a request for an urgent hearing by Advocate Anas Tanwir, which was mentioned before Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud.

Background of the Petition to Postpone NEET PG 2024 Exam

The petitioners argue that many candidates have been allocated exam cities that are highly inconvenient and difficult to reach. The allocation of test cities was announced on July 31, 2024, the short notice has made it challenging for students to arrange travel to their designated cities. The petition also calls for the disclosure of the normalization formula for the four sets of question papers to ensure transparency and fairness in the examination process.

Petitioners’ Requests to Supreme Court to hear on NEET PG 2024

The petition includes several key requests:

 

1. Rescheduling of the NEET PG 2024 Exam: Petitioners seek a writ directing the respondents to postpone the exam.
   
   
2. Uniform Examination Batch: They request that the exam be conducted in a single batch to ensure a fair testing environment for all candidates.
   
   
3. Rectification of Examination Centre Allocation: Petitioners urge the respondents to allocate test centers more equitably and transparently, ensuring they are located in nearby places for the convenience of candidates.
