Supreme Court to shortly take up pleas challenging CBSE decision to hold compartment exams amid #COVID19 . @cbseindia29 to file affidavit today on when #compartmentexams will be held in Sept
The court was earlier informed that the #CompartmentExams2020 will be held end September. Petitioners stated admissions would be over by the time exams are held & results announced.
Senior Adv Vivek Tankha: CBSE could not hold exams due to #covid19 Then they conducted hybrid mode of exams where last year exams was used to assess the students. A lot of students are facing compartment
Sr Adv Tankha: College admissions for PG and UG courses came to end on August 31. The problem is two-fold, compartment exams was notified on Sept 4 after you issued notice. now exams are to be held on Sept 22 to 29
Tankha: The question is about the safety of students which you have already dealt in the UGC matter, etc. But compartment exams from Sept 22 will lead to their whole year being wasted. some solution has to be there
Tankha: Earlier admissions were held only after compartment exams results were announced. CBSE can help up by telling universities that admission be granted on a provisional basis
Justice Khanwilkar: but admission on what basis? if compartment then there would be no percentage?
SC: This is a very peculiar year. We have to see some extraordinary situations. the solution cannot be offered by CBSE but by another agency
Tankha: Union of India and states are a party to the case. About 5 lakh students will appear in the compartment exams
Justice Sanjiv Khanna: Compartment exams are for students who have not managed to pass the subjects as there is always a "best of scheme" to calculate the percentages
Tankha: Please create some room for these students to take college admissions.
Tankha: What will the students do in October after the compartment exam results are announced?
Justice Khanwilkar: If we issue notice to all universities in the country, then that would not be a viable solution.
Tankha: Union of India can be given a copy of this so that they can advise or ask the states and the universities therein. My first reaction to the briefing counsel was your two prayers are self contradictory
Can we serve the states as they are a party in my petition?
SC: It will take a long time. You have made only selective states a party. The country has to be treated as a whole.
You only serve the law officer of Union of India & not the states. Let us not complicate it further
Supreme Court hears a petition urging for the postponement of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) Chartered Accountancy (CA) exams
Sr Adv Madhavi Divan: There are students from Kalahandi and other rural areas who will not be able to appear for the exams on 8th and 14th May since elections are on. It can be on 7th and 13th may.
#caexams #SupremeCourt #LokSabhaElections2024
Divan: We are not asking for a bulk postponement. If there is a bunch of candidates from Rajouri. Now they can only come by public transport and with security issues it is impossible to travel and public buses also withdrawn during elections. Hostels are also being asked to vacate. One we are asking postpone and if not possible then atleast allow an out option so that one does not suffer if they are not appearing on May 8 and May 14

Divan: Other option can be to increase centres. Delhi, Mumbai students will not suffer. But those coming from north east etc who need to travel states have to suffer. Petitioners are candidates who will not be affected but this plea is for the public interest.
