Supreme Court Examines Integrity of NEET-UG 2024 Amid Controversy

The Supreme Court is currently reviewing petitions regarding the integrity of the NEET-UG 2024 exam following allegations of systemic paper leaks. The court, which adjourned other cases to hear these pleas, emphasizes that any decision to re-conduct the exam must be based on solid evidence affecting its overall sanctity. A CBI probe is ongoing.

The Supreme Court declared that any order for a fresh NEET-UG 2024 exam must be based on clear evidence that the whole exam's integrity was compromised.

A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and justices JB Pardiwla and Manoj Misra started hearings on numerous petitions linked to the disputed medical entrance exam. They recognized the issue's significant social implications.

The court postponed other cases to address these pleas, stressing the need to determine whether the alleged paper leaks were systemic, warranting cancellation. The Chief Justice emphasized the necessity for concrete evidence affecting the exam's sanctity. Meanwhile, the ongoing CBI probe adds complexity to the situation.
