The petition has been filed by 15 students from states of Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Jharkhand, Telangana, Kerala, Bihar, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Maharashtra. The Bench of Justice Sanjeev Narula will hear the plea filed through Advocate Mamta Sharma.

The petitioners seek to re-schedule the NEET UG 2022 for four to six weeks on several grounds including that the schedule of the national level examinations i.e NEET, JEE, and Central Universities Entrance Test (CUET), is “unorganized” and the same has “caused immense mental trauma and harassment resulting in 16 reported suicides of young students leaving their families in a state of despair”.

The petition, filed through advocate Mamta Sharma, stated that the board examination ended in mid of June 2022 and the students have been forced to prepare for three national-level examinations without getting sufficient time to prepare. “Respondents scheduled National Level examinations CUET, NEET- UG, and JEE in the month of July 2022 having a time gap of 1 or 2 days, wherein the syllabus of all three examinations is completely different,” the petition said.
