The Court has agreed to hear CBSE’s plea on the matter.

Following the cancellation of AIPMT 2015 exam, the Supreme Court had on Monday, 15 June directed the CBSE to conduct a re-test of AIPMT within four weeks.

AIPMT was annulled considering the likely adverse impact on the exam and evaluation process due to 'answer key leak' during exam.

About 6.3 lakhs candidates are waiting for AIPMT 2015 re-test after the Supreme Court scrapped the exam over answer key leak allegations. According to officials, students will not be required to apply for the entrance test again but the CBSE is likely to issue fresh admit cards to all applicants.

CBSE had earlier pleaded before Supreme Court not to cancel AIPMT 2015 as it would affect the entire academic schedule for 2015 – 16. In fact, the exam authority had sought permission from the Court to issue the merit list of candidates.

The police has arrested four people who had allegedly passed on AIPMT 2015 answer keys to students using vests with SIM card units and Bluetooth enabled earpieces during the All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT).
