SLST Exam Update: Supreme Court’s Major Verdict on SLST Exam, No Change in Schedule

SLST Exam Update: The Supreme Court of India has dismissed the petition filed to postpone the State Level Selection Test (SLST) of the West Bengal School Service Commission (SSC). As a result, the examination will be held as per its predetermined schedule. This verdict has ended the uncertainty that prevailed among thousands of candidates.

Background of the Case

The case, Abhijit Sadhukhan vs. The State of West Bengal, was heard in Court No. 13 of the Supreme Court before a bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kumar. The petitioners had appealed for the postponement of the exam, citing insufficient time for preparation as the main reason. Their argument was that the time between the application deadline on September 2nd and the exam date on September 7th was too short.

Court’s Observation and Decision

The court compared this case with the previous rulings in the Vivek Paria and Arinima Pal cases. Justice Sanjay Kumar stated that this matter has already been decided and there is nothing new to consider. Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal appeared for the SSC. He informed the court that they are proceeding according to the previous directives and have already issued admit cards to the eligible candidates.

SSC’s Argument

Kapil Sibal and Kalyan Banerjee stated that the exam dates, September 7th and September 14th, were announced much earlier. Therefore, the argument of insufficient time for preparation is baseless. They further added that all eligible candidates have received their admit cards on time. Based on these arguments, the court dismissed the case.

What This Means for the Candidates

• No Change in Exam Dates: The SLST exam will be held on September 7th and 14th.
• Admit Cards: Those who have received their admit cards can proceed with their exam preparations without any worries.
• End of Legal Battle: With this verdict, there are no more legal hurdles concerning the exam schedule.

Future Preparations

Since the exam is being held on time, candidates should focus on their last-minute preparations. They should revise the syllabus and assess their preparation level by taking mock tests. This verdict makes it clear that the commission is determined to complete the recruitment process quickly. Therefore, candidates should set aside all speculations and prepare to give their best.
