The Supreme Court on Thursday, February 3, dismissed petitions seeking postponement of Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE 2022). As per media reports, SC said that the exam deferment at this stage can cause chaos and uncertainty. Therefore, the exam will be conducted as per the schedule.
Justice DY Chandrachud said the exams are a policy matter on part of the government, and any interference by the court at this stage would only lead to “chaos and uncertainty” among students, reports Hindustan Times. The plea was filed by 11 candidates.
GATE 2022 will be held as per the schedule i.e, on February 5, 6, 12 and 13. The results will be announced on March 17. IITKGP has added two new papers this year – Geomatics Engineering (GE) and Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NM).
