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.
The Federation of All India Medical Association moved the Supreme Court of India alleging “systemic failure” by the National Testing Agency in conducting NEET-UG 2026, claiming the examination cancellation process severely damaged public confidence in India’s national medical entrance test system.
