SC refuses deferment of GATE
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to postpone the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering Exam (GATE) scheduled to be held on February 5 and turned down the plea of a batch of students which sought its deferment citing the Covid pandemic.
A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud, Surya Kant and Vikram Nath said postponing GATE just 48 hours before the scheduled examinationwill result in chaos and uncertainty. “The plea for postponement of GATE examination barely 48 hours before the scheduled date February 5, 2022, is replete with a potential for chaos and uncertainty, in the lives of students who have registered for the examination.
There is no overarching reason why this court in exercise of jurisdiction under Article 32 of the constitution should supplant the duties and functions of the regulatory authorities, who have taken a decision to hold the examination,” the bench said.
