On Saturday, Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia stated that unprecedented steps need to be taken in the times of the unprecedented Covid-19 Crisis. His tweet in Hindi translates to, "The central government is playing with the lives of millions of students in the name of JEE-NEET exam. My request to the Center is to immediately cancel both these exams in the entire country and make alternate arrangements for admission this year. In this time of unprecedented crisis, an unprecedented step will lead to a solution". BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the matter, listing 13 reasons for the postponement of competitive exams this year considering the Coronavirus situation. Earlier, the Supreme Court had dismissed the petition filed by 11 students seeking the postponement of JEE (Main) April 2020 and NEET-Undergraduate examinations due to the rising Covid 19 cases in the country. After that, the Ministry of Education Secretary Amit Khare also confirmed that the NEET, JEE Main 2020 entrance examinations will not be postponed. WATCH | Top news stories of the day in 15 minutes
