The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a petition seeking the postponement of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), scheduled to be held in September 2020. "The careers of students cannot be put under jeopardy," the SC said.

A petition was filed in the apex court seeking postponement of JEE (Main) April 2020 and NEET-Undergraduate examinations amid continuous rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in the country.
