AIPMT cancelled by Supreme Court, CBSE to take the test again

This year has been tough for all the AIPMT candidates, as over around 6,30,000 candidates will have to give the exam again as per Supreme Court's order. This year, the exam stayed in news for various reasons like its irregularities and other known issues.

Justices R K Agrawal and Amitava Roy took the decision and ordered CBSE to conduct the AIPMT examination again. They also specified a time period of four weeks to conduct a fresh test of AIPMT.

As you know, the issues with the exam were that many students were able to get their electronic devices such as mobile phones in the examination center which is clearly a violation of code. Nonetheless they received the answers to questions from outside.


Other reason is that the police was not able to find the students who performed this, thus SC had no other choice but to scrap the whole exam. SC also said that it would be injustice to the students who put their selves in line and worked hard for it, if they fail to get admission because of those who cheated get admission.

"Police reports said 358 suspected mobile numbers were used and about 300 special vests fitted with SIM cards and Bluetooth devices were sneaked into exam halls. Seven persons, including two doctors and an MBBS student, have been arrested so far." - The Hindu
