At least seven chief ministers are expected to move the Supreme Court today against the holding of JEE Main and NEET exams in September. The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) is scheduled to be held on September 13, while the engineering entrance exam JEE Main has been planned from September 1-6. The exams have been deferred twice due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was last week when the Supreme Court had dismissed a plea seeking postponement of the two exams amid COVID-19 pandemic, saying a "precious" academic year of students "cannot be wasted" and that life has to go on. Despite the court's decision, students continue to voice their anger against holding the exams at a time when the cases are at an all-time high. Students have also cited major concerns such as the lack of transportation and flood situation in some states.At least seven chief ministers are expected to move the Supreme Court today against the holding of JEE Main and NEET exams in September.
