Centre to Explain NEET Question Paper Safeguards to Supreme Court Amid Leak ConcernsPreviousNext

The Centre informed the Supreme Court it will file an affidavit detailing safeguards from printing to distribution of NEET question papers amid repeated leak concerns. The court scheduled hearings for August 6 to review these measures and consider additional safeguards. A high-level committee led by Nandan Nilekani was formed to recommend reforms, following the cancellation and retest of the May 3 NEET exam due to leaks. Meanwhile, a Delhi court sought the CBI's response on accused individuals' plea for lie detector and brain mapping tests in the ongoing investigation.
