Besides, the petition has sought a direction to ensure that colleges, universities and other educational institutions admit Private, Patrachar and second compartment students on a provisional basis, confirmation of which will be subject to declaration of their results. The prayer advocated against rejecting candidature of such students due to delayed results or documents.

The plea will come up for hearing before Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice Sanjiv Khanna.

Advocate Mamta Sharma, urged that the University Grants Commission (UGC) should extend admission timelines to ensure parity among students.

"Admission timelines must be extended by UGC as well as other higher education institutions to ensure that CBSE Private students do not miss out the opportunity to take admission in the current academic year. Justice must prevail in all circumstances without discrimination," said Sharma.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) began exams for CBSE Class 10 and Class 12 Compartment and Improvement students on August 25, and will conclude the process on September 15. Meanwhile, aspirants of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) are urging postponement of the medical entrance, citing a clash with the CBSE board improvement, compartment exams, and other entrance exams. The National Testing Agency (NTA), however, said it will not postpone the exam since it was not a ‘direct clash’.

CBSE Class 12 students have Biology exam scheduled on September 6, Physics on September 9, and two major science papers in the same week of NEET exam. Other entrance exams like AP EAMCET are slated to be held on September 3, 6 and 7, while Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) exam is scheduled from September 7 to 9.

The marks required and exam rules differ a lot depending on the stream.

Hi.

If your 12th result has not been announced yet then 

Upload expected / provisional marks for now.

Final admission depends on the official 12th mark sheet after results are announced.

Colleges are used to this situation, especially for students applying in early cycles.
