As thousands of students wait for the Supreme Court's final verdict on UGC Exam guidelines 2020, the apex court was expected to pronounce its verdict on the petitions filed against University Grants Commission guidelines (UGC Exam guidelines 2020) today. However, the matter is not listed in the SC cause list for today. Advocate Alakh Alok Srivastava has confirmed the same in a tweet. On July 6, the UGC had issued a set of revised guidelines in which it was mandatory to conduct undergraduate and postgraduate final year examinations of all colleges/universities by the end of September.
Our #UGC matter is NOT listed in tomorrow’s Supplementary Cause List.

Thus, SC is UNLIKELY to pronounce final order tomorrow.
I really wish & hope that final order is passed ASAP.
Uncertainty is causing severe anxiety to the students!
Will update once final order is notified.
Meanwhile, Chief Ministers belonging to various opposition parties on Wednesday got together and discussed the issue of GST compensation to states, with Congress President Sonia Gandhi saying the Centre's refusal to reimburse the states was nothing short of betrayal of the people by the Modi government.
On students' problems and the issue of exams arising out of the pandemic situation, she said it is being dealt with uncaringly by the Centre. Mamata Banerjee urges all chief ministers to together move the Supreme Court for postponing the NEET and JEE exams as students are not prepared.
