Supreme court will not postpone mass-nation wide exams

The Supreme Court will not stop the JEE and NEET exam, here is why:

The supreme court is not going to postpone the exams as they commented that "Life cannot be stopped" now this may seem bizarre to all of us reading, even me. Nevertheless, here is what happened:

11 students from 11 different states filed a plea to the supreme court to postpone the dates for the JEE and NEET exams. JEE is a joint entrance exam which is done for various colleges nationwide, and the NEET exam is a medical exam. These colleges every year have thousands of students and have lakhs taking the exam. So it is pretty obvious, considering that all of these examinations will attract a large crowd.

However, the SC believes that postponing the exams once more will take away a whole year from the students. The court stands on the set dates for JEE which are in the first week of September and the NEET which is for the second week.

The SC panel said that education cannot be locked and the future of the students cannot be jeopardized. Justice Arun Mishra said that education must be opened up so life can move on. So the students are expected to continue and take the exams doing their best to safeguard themselves.

Economically the decision might be beneficial and bring about a large mass out of their homes, or is it? There is an expected drop in the number of students who appear for the exams this year. On the darker side, if there is a further spread of the virus due to this mass meeting of students, then the whole nation will further backlog into the lockdown state. But, in this case, people would not come out because of fear rather than legislation.

Thus, the "life can move on" might be a short term dream which would be lived if the decision of the SC stands, but it may slow it down in the future.
