New Delhi: The All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) examination is slated to be delayed further with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) now saying that it is "impossible" to conduct it within four weeks. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear CBSE plea seeking more time to re-conduct the pre-medical exam.
This comes three days after the Supreme Court scrapped the AIPMT examination held on May 5, and ordered CBSE to conduct fresh exams within four weeks time.
The AIPMT results, originally slated to be declared on June 5, were earlier stayed following allegations of malpractice in the examination with as many as 700 students receiving answer keys through mobile phones. The fate of at least 6.3 lakh MBBS aspirants has been hanging in balance because of the delay in the examination.
Earlier, the vacation bench had asked Haryana Police to file a fresh report indicating the number of beneficiaries of the alleged irregularities in the pre-medical examination. It had also asked police to identify as many candidates as possible who had been benefited from the alleged leak.
Large-scale irregularities including leakage of answer keys for the AIMPT exam 2015 came to the light on the exam day, with the investigators informing the court that the answer keys of 123 questions were transmitted through 75 mobile phones in states like Bihar, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and Haryana.
The court had issued notices to the Centre, CBSE, Medical Council of India and Haryana on the pleas seeking re-conduct of the AIPMT on grounds of alleged large-scale irregularities.
