The Supreme Court on Friday gave CBSE time till August 16 to conduct and declare the results of All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) for medical and dental courses for the year 2015-16, despite the CBSE having yesterday requested three months saying it was impossible to conduct the exam in one.

The apex court vacation bench headed by Justice RK Agrawal extended time till August 16 on CBSE’s plea seeking three months time for the re-conduct of AIPMT examination.

The apex court, by its June 15 verdict, while cancelling the examination held on May 3, had given CBSE four weeks time to re-conduct the examination and declare the result.

The court by its June 15 order had cancelled the AIPMT examination held on May 3 following the leak of the question paper and circulation of the answer keys through electronic devices across 10 states in the country.
