The Supreme Court declined immediate relief on a plea seeking NEET-UG 2026 re-conduct through CBT mode, observing the immense challenges of administering the examination and noting that similar requests had previously been rejected despite concerns over paper leaks and NTA functioning.
The Supreme Court said it would continue monitoring the investigation into the alleged 2026 NEET-UG paper leak, stressing that identifying procedural lapses alone is insufficient unless real accountability is fixed on those responsible for compromising the integrity of one of India’s largest competitive medical entrance examinations.
Today, On 23rd February, The Supreme Court heard a plea challenging the reduction in the NEET PG 2025 percentile cut-off. In its affidavit, the Union of India stated, “NEET-PG is not to certify minimum competence… but to generate an inter se merit list… scores cannot be construed as determinative of clinical incompetence.”
