NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday allowed National Testing Agency to conduct second round of the NEET (UG) for the COVID-19 affected students and those in containment zones on October 14.
A bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde passed the order after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta sought the top court’s nod in the issue citing special circumstances due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“In view of the circumstances which have necessitated postponement of the examination in the past and in view of the prevailing circumstances, we consider it appropriate to grant permission to the National Testing Agency to conduct a second part of the NEET (UG) 2019 for the COVID affected students and for those in containment zones on October 14, 2020,” the bench said.
