She had also raised serious concerns about the examinations and had urged the centre to postpone the exams until the situation is conducive. Even though the National Testing Agency (NTA) conducted the JEE (Main) exams, efforts were still made on postponing the NEET exams. On Wednesday, Supreme Court made it clear that there will be no further delay in exams after it refused to hear a fresh batch of pleas seeking the postponement of the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) exams.
