Supreme Court refuses to postpone GATE, exams to be held as per schedule

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to postpone this year’s Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE 2022) exam amid the third wave of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) outbreak, noting that delaying the exam could lead to “chaos and uncertainty” for students.

GATE is an exam that primarily tests comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science for entry into masters programmes and recruitment by some public sector companies.

With the green signal from the Supreme Court, the GATE 2022 exam will now be held on February 5, 6, 12 and 13 as planned.

Given the recent Covid -19 surge.

“In the current third wave, Covid-19 has spread severely in several states, cities due to its new variant Omicron. Several studies including one done by IIT Kanpur predict that the peak of the third wave In early February, the wave is expected to end in April. Therefore, the peak period is most likely to coincide with the usual exam dates for GATE,” the petition reads.

“If exam dates are not postponed, candidates attending GATE 2022 will be at imminent risk of contracting and spreading the virus, threatening their lives as well as the lives of their families,” it added.

However, Supreme Court justices, led by Justice DY Chandrachud, told petitioners today that exams are a matter of government policy and any intervention by the courts at this stage will only lead to “chaos and uncertainty” among students.

The court said the first and second waves of Covid-19 were not the same as the third wave, with up to 20 exams conducted by government agencies having to be postponed in a similar fashion recently.

“We can’t start postponing exams like this,” the court noted, according to excerpts published by Bar and Bench. “Now that everything is open, we can’t play students’ careers like this. One petitioner is a coaching center. It’s an academic policy issues.”

The Supreme Court also noted that while hundreds of thousands of students across the country have been preparing for exams, only 20,000 candidates have signed an online petition calling for the exams to be postponed. Therefore, in order to avoid confusion and uncertainty for other students, the Supreme Court said it has decided to reject the petition seeking to postpone the GATE 2022 exam.

Amitabh Bachchan: Shocking Fan Incident Outside Jalsa

Amitabh Bachchan Fan Faints After Hours of Torturous Waiting

The weekly Sunday rite outside the renowned gates of Jalsa is nothing short of profoundly holy. For decades, thousands of deeply moved admirers have gathered like clockwork, hoping for a single glimpse of the iconic megastar.

Yesterday evening, that fierce commitment took a scary and sad turn. A middle-aged guy, who had been standing patiently in the scorching midday sun for more than four hours, collapsed unexpectedly.

He collapsed totally into profound sleep, landing directly on the harsh, unforgiving asphalt road. The happy, chanting crowd fell silent in an instant as reality hit in.

A Heartbreaking Moment of Desperation

According to eyewitnesses, this enthusiast travelled across various states for a two-minute glimpse of his idol. His quivering hands clutched a framed vintage photograph of the superstar.

As the searing midday heat reached its zenith, acute dehydration and utter physical fatigue overtook his body. His feeble knees bowed under the crushing weight of his never-ending, frantic wait.

He fell face first to the ground before anyone could react or grab him. The enormous crowd’s collective, frightened gasp boomed over Juhu’s normally peaceful suburban streets.


Sudden Chaos Outside Jalsa’s Gates

Within seconds, total fear spread among the observers. Fellow supporters quickly dropped their homemade banners and posters, coming to the fallen man’s rescue. Someone desperately sprayed cold water upon his pale, sweating face.

The large security crew stationed outside Amitabh Bachchan’s home acted quickly. They were able to remove the rising, panicked crowd, allowing the choking sufferer to breathe easier.

An emergency ambulance was dispatched immediately, while local volunteers attempted to revive him. In a few startling moments, the atmosphere went from exhilarating exhilaration to total horror.


The Relentless Sunday Evening Madness

Every Sunday evening, the veteran actor gracefully goes onto a high podium at his grand gates. It is a renowned custom that has completely defined Bollywood fan culture over generations.

Passionate admirers will miss meals, risk heavy monsoons, and suffer harsh summer heat waves only to see him wave. It is a profound, emotional bond that defies all reasonable logic.

For this heartbreakingly loyal admirer, the powerful emotional rush combined with severe physical tiredness proved to be a highly perilous, almost lethal combination on the boiling, sweltering concrete.

Security Personnel Scramble to Prevent Tragedy

Local police officers responded promptly to the chaotic scene, attempting to manage the emotionally charged throng. Medical staff administered quick, vital first aid on the scene, examining his critically weak and decreasing pulse.

The comatose man was gingerly put onto a canvas stretcher, still clutching his prized, sweat-soaked image of the actor. He was sent to a local hospital for emergency treatment.

On-duty medics eventually confirmed that he had severe heatstroke and acute, life-threatening dehydration. Fortunately, his medical condition improved after he received repeated IV infusions and intensive, appropriate care.


A Stark Warning for Star-Worshippers

This terrible, tragic episode has generated a heated, much-needed debate about the extreme limits of celebrity worship in India. Blind passion should never result in the death of an innocent person.

Jalsa is an undisputed historical monument to love, but yesterday it served as a grim, sobering lesson. Extreme physical endurance for a brief moment can easily result in a catastrophic medical tragedy.

As thousands of passionate individuals continue to flow to Mumbai every day, the fine line between beautiful appreciation and life-threatening devotion becomes increasingly, dangerously blurred for these fragile worshippers.


Terrifying Boundaries of Human Obsession

The burning passion that motivates these ordinary folks to risk their own health is both wonderful and scary. It emphasises the megastar’s immense, godlike influence over millions of hearts.

While the legendary actor continues to express love to his devoted fans, this dangerous occurrence demonstrates that safety should always come first. No fan should have to bleed or faint on the street in order to catch a passing shadow.
