The Supreme Court today dismissed the pleas, including the one filed by ministers of six opposition-ruled states, seeking review of its August 17 order which paved the way for holding NEET and JEE exams.
A bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan, B R Gavai and Krishna Murari, which considered the pleas in-chamber, also rejected the applications seeking listing of the review petition in the open court.
National Testing Agency (NTA) which conducts both the exams is holding JEE Main Exams from 1st to 6th of this month while NEET exams will be held on 13th September.
One of the review pleas was filed by ministers from West Bengal, Jharkhand, Rajasthan , Chhattisgarh, Punjab and Maharashtra. The apex court had rejected a similar request by 11 students from 11 states on the 17th of last month.
