CBSE seeks three months' time from SC to conduct AIPMT

The CBSE on Thursday told the Supreme Court that it was impossible to conduct AIPMT within a month as directed by the court.

It told a bench headed by Justice R K Agrawal that the board required at least three months to conduct re-examination of AIPMT which was quashed by the apex court in view of large scale cheating at various centres across the country.

However, Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar told the bench there are seven other exams pending and it was possible to conduct AIPMT within a month.

The apex court on Monday quashed the paper conducted by the Board on May 3 in which 6.3 lakh medical aspiring students appeared at 1050 centre across the country.

It directed the board all other authorities involved in conducting the exam to hold re-examination within four weeks.
