New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday directed the CBSE to conduct and declare the results of All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) for medical and dental courses for the year 2015-16 by August 17.

The apex court vacation bench headed by Justice R.K. Agrawal extended the time on CBSE’s plea seeking three months time for the re-conduct of AIPMT examination.

The apex court, by its June 15 verdict, while cancelling the examination held on May 3, had given CBSE four weeks time to re-conduct the examination and declare the result.

The court by its June 15 order had cancelled the AIPMT examination held on May 3 following the leak of the question paper and circulation of the answer keys through electronic devices across 10 states in the country.
