NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today asked the CBSE to explain how it would have identical question papers in English, Hindi as well as in vernacular languages for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).
A three-judge bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra asked Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh, who was appearing for the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), to file an affidavit in this regard and posted the matter for hearing on October 10.
Singh told the bench, also comprising Justices Amitava Roy and A M Khanwilkar, that questions in vernacular languages in the NEET 2017 examination were not identical translations of the questions in English or Hindi but the difficulty level was the same.
Senior advocate Indira Jaising, appearing for the petitioner, argued that questions in vernacular languages were not identical to those in Hindi and English. (AGENCIES)
