The Supreme Court today scrapped the All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) 2015 and ordered re-
conduct of the examination within four weeks.
The apex court directed the re-examination in view of large-scale cheating in the test with students getting answers in the examination hall at many places.
The court had reserved its order on June 12 on petitions seeking re-conduct of AIPMT 2015 for alleged large-scale irregularities in the exam which was held on May 3, saying the examination stands vitiated even if one student is being benefited illegally.
CBSE was to declare the results of AIPMT, taken by over six lakh students, on June 5. The court had said, "The bigger issue is that the sanctity of the examination is under suspicion. We want to be doubly sure that there is no alternative but to order re-conduct of the exam," adding that it did not want to take a decision "in haste".
