The Supreme Court on Monday refused to defer the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET)-UG examination, scheduled for September 12, saying it does not want to interfere with the process and it will be "very unfair" to reschedule it.
A Bench headed by Justice AM Khanwilkar said if students wanted to appear in multiple exams, then they needed to prioritise and make a choice as there might never be a situation where everyone was satisfied with the date of exams.

"The arguments which you (counsel for petitioners) are canvassing may not be relevant for 99 per cent candidates. For one per cent candidates, the entire system cannot be put on hold," the Bench, also comprising Justices Hrishikesh Roy and CT Ravikumar, told advocate Shoeb Alam, who was appearing for the petitioners. When Alam said around 25,000 students would be appearing in either improvement or supplementary examinations for Class 12, the Bench observed that only around one per cent candidates go for that.

"If you are to appear in multiple examinations, then you need to make choice," the Bench said, adding, "You have to prioritise. You must also be conscious that any deferment is likely to clash with some other examination." The Bench said the respective boards would do their job and the court would not interfere with examinations in such a situation. NEET 2021 Dress Code: What Not To Wear On The Exam Day -PTC News
