PTI reported that the Supreme Court, which cancelled the All India Pre-Medical Entrance Test (AIPMT) on Monday, has agreed to listen to the plea of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) asking that it needed at least three months to conduct a new AIPMT:

A bench of justices RK Agrawal and AM Sapre decided to take up the CBSE petition after solicitor general Ranjit Kumar mentioned the matter before it. Kumar told the apex court that it is impossible to re-conduct the exam within the time frame decided by the Supreme Court. He said that the board was overburdened with work of conducting seven exams simultaneously and it needed at least three months time to conduct the exam afresh.
