New Delhi, June 7

A group of doctors moved the Supreme Court demanding postponement of the INI CET Examination, 2021 — meant for admissions to higher medical studies — scheduled to be conducted by All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) on June 16.

The petitioners submitted that the holding of the examination on June 16 went against the assurance regarding postponement of PG Examinations given by the PMO while postponing the NEET PG Examination, 2021 by four months. The students were assured that they will be given at least one month to prepare for the examination and holding the examination during the pandemic would increase pressure on graduate doctors. They also cited how Class 12 examinations were cancelled. —TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
