Supreme Court to Hear NEET-UG Exam Reform Proposals on August 19
The Supreme Court has adjourned hearings on proposed reforms to the NEET-UG examination until August 19, following the Centre's affidavit outlining potential changes. The government is actively considering shifting NEET-UG from pen-and-paper to a computer-based format, possibly adopting a single- or two-stage model similar to the JEE exams. Petitioners, including medical associations and an RJD MP, seek structural reforms and stronger safeguards against exam fraud. The Court has asked petitioners to file responses to the Centre's affidavit before the next hearing.
