SC rejects NEET PG postponement: The Supreme Court on Friday, rejected a petition to postpone the NEET-PG 2024 exam, which is scheduled for August 11, 2024. The bench, which included Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, declined to hear the plea, stating, “We cannot jeopardise the careers of 2 lakh students based on the request of only five petitioners.”There must be certainty.”
The court noted that only five of over 200,000 students had filed the petition. However, it was stated that the request had received support from many students, with approximately 50,000 messages received.

At the behest of 5 petitioners, we can’t put the career of 2 lakh students at jeopardy. Let there be certainty.
LiveLaw quoted CJI during the hearing.
The petition addressed two major concerns: First, several NEET-PG 2024 candidates have been assigned test centres that are difficult to reach. Second, there are concerns that the exam will be administered in two batches without clarity on the normalisation process, raising concerns about potential unfairness, according to LiveLaw.
