Supreme Court to Hear Plea Challenging NEET-UG 2026 Re-Test Decision in July

Supreme Court to Hear Plea Challenging NEET-UG 2026 Re-Test Decision in JulyPreviousNext

The Supreme Court will hear in July a plea challenging the National Testing Agency's decision to conduct a re-test of the NEET-UG 2026 exam, originally cancelled due to alleged paper leaks. The re-test is scheduled for June 21, while the Central Bureau of Investigation investigates the leak. The plea seeks to quash the re-test order and calls for secure digital examination methods and an independent review of the NTA's operations. The Justice Narasimha-led bench, already handling related petitions, will hear the matter.
