The Supreme Court will hear several petitions about alleged paper leaks and irregularities in the NEET-UG 2024 on Thursday, July 11. Over 40 petitions are reportedly listed for hearing in the Supreme Court. On July 8, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud's bench requested responses from the Union and the National Testing Agency (NTA) regarding the extent of the paper leak and the differentiation between wrongdoers and honest candidates. The Court indicated that if the entire exam's integrity has been compromised to the extent that distinguishing between fraudulent and honest candidates is impractical, a re-test may be necessary. However, it emphasized that this option would be a last resort, considering its significant impact on nearly 24 lakh students.
The Union government recently submitted a new affidavit to the court, strongly opposing calls for a re-test in the NEET-UG 2024 case. The affidavit highlighted a comprehensive report from IIT-Madras, which specifically refutes claims of widespread malpractices or unfair advantages being provided to candidates at certain examination centers. This report aims to substantiate the government's stance that the integrity of the examination process has not been significantly compromised across the board.
