NEET-UG Counselling From July 3rd Week, Don't Want Retest: Centre To Court

Over 40 petitions are reportedly listed for hearing in the Supreme Court.

The NEET-UG, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), is the entrance examination for MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, and other related courses in government and private institutions nationwide. The NEET-UG 2024 exam held on May 5 was marred by controversies regarding paper leaks and some students being provided grace marks.

The Supreme Court, during its hearing on July 8, ordered the NTA to make disclosures on when the question paper leak took place, how the papers were leaked and the time duration between the occurrence of the paper leak and the actual conduct of the NEET-UG examination on May 5.

The top court also instructed the central government to submit affidavits detailing their actions and asked for a status report from the CBI regarding the NEET-UG examination. The court also acknowledged compromise in the examination.
