Appeal to COMEDK to change the date of UGET-2012 due to clash with AFMC

AFMC Pune has been conducting their entrance exam on 1st sunday of May every year, for more than 20-30 years. Therefore AFMC-2012 date was pre-decided as 6-May-2012 by this policy.
COMEDK has announced the same date for their UGET-2012 exam. This is a grave error considering the interim stay taken by them against the MCI mandated NEET-2012 that was to begin from this year. They were duty bound to select a date without a clash with a national level medical entrance exam.
Even after pointing out to their management, meeting them, they have refused to change their date, and this is denying an opportunity to several thousand students from appearing in both exams that are equally important.
As a parent I have started this petition, to bring together all such students and parents impacted by this clash, and to appeal to COMEDK to change the date at the soonest.
Approx 1 lakh students appear for AFMC and about 80,000 for COMEDK.
COMEDK dates are not consistent and have been -> 8-May-2011, 9-May-2010, 17-May-2009, 4-May-2008, 6-May-2007, 28-May-2006.
AFMC dates are consistent to their policy policy and for record are -> 6-May-2012, 1-May-2011, 2-May-2010, 3-May-2009, 4-May-2008, 6-May-2007, 7-May-2006.
Please record the student name, city and contact number when signing this petition, so that a list can be presented to COMEDK and to courts if need arises.
