The Supreme Court has asked the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to file an affidavit explaining its stand on publishing NEET-PG answer keys. The move comes after petitions seeking greater transparency in the medical entrance exam evaluation process.
The Supreme Court of India has mandated ten significant reforms to address the malpractice of seat blocking in NEET-PG admissions. These reforms aim to enhance transparency, ensure merit-based selection, and enforce accountability in the counselling process. The Court’s actions respond to longstanding issues affecting fairness in postgraduate medical admissions.
The Supreme Court Today (Feb 4) issued a notice to MCC, NMC, and the Central Government after a petition alleged serious irregularities in the NEET-PG AIQ counselling process. The plea highlights seat blocking issues, where candidates were unfairly denied registration for preferred seats, leading to many settling for less-desired branches. It also accuses authorities of violating SC timelines, citing cases like Anjana Chari. Justices BR Gavai and K Vinod Chandran have sought responses, with Senior Advocate K Parameshwar and Advocate Tanvi Dubey representing the petitioners.
