The Supreme Court on Saturday refused to order postponement of UPSC preliminary exam, saying no prejudice was likely to be caused to any class of aspirants under the current exam pattern.
A bench led by Justice JS Khehar noted that the government and the UPSC have already agreed on deleting certain type of questions, which had been the bone of contention for non-urban students.
“What do we postpone the exam for? It is exactly the same syllabus. There is no change at all. What you were aggrieved of has already been deleted. Nine lakh students are today ready to sit for the exam. Majority of them must have attended coaching classes too. We can’t postpone it,” said the bench.
Dismissing a petition by a UPSC aspirant, the bench said that the exam papers have been designed as a policy matter and after considering opinions of experts, and hence the decision has to be respected.
