‘6 minutes late, not allowed to give exam’, what did the judge say to the girl who reached the High Court?

Delhi High Court News: The Delhi High Court, underlining the ‘purity and discipline’ of the examination, refused to give relief to the student who appeared with a delay of six minutes in the ‘CUT’ (CUET). The 18 -year -old student claimed that on May 13, she reached the examination center at around 8.36 am after six minutes from the scheduled time of the examination, but was not given admission.

Gates closed around 8.30 am

The bench of Justice Pratibha M Singh and Justice Rajneesh Kumar Gupta was hearing a student’s plea against the order of a single judge refusing to intervene in the case. The bench found that very clear instructions were given about reaching the center at around 7 am before the start of the examination in the information bulletin and admit card of the National Examination Authority and it was told that the gates would be closed around 8.30 am. The bench said that negligence in conducting such a big examination will create chaos and ‘discipline of the examination should be maintained’.

The court said on May 31, “CUET is an important entrance examination and arriving in the examination hall on time, reaching the seat on time and being in the center before the closure of the gate, all these are part of the discipline and ethos of the examination system, which should not be relaxed. Because this can create huge inequality among students with similar conditions. ”

Student’s appeal rejected

The bench rejected the student’s appeal and said, “Anyone may feel that it was only six minutes of case, but the authorities cannot be blamed for strictly implementing the rule at the time of the gate.”

The court said, “CUET UG exam is an examination that includes more than 13.54 lakh students from across the country. If exceptions are placed, and discipline is not followed in such an examination, timely conducting of examination, timely announcement of results and timely entry into colleges and universities can all be in danger and will have a widespread impact. In such cases, court intervention should be minimized. ”
