Supreme Court to Hear Urgent Petitions on NEET 2026 OMR and Answer Key Transparency
The Supreme Court of India has agreed to urgently hear petitions related to the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) 2026 examinations. One petition challenges the authenticity of a NEET-UG OMR answer sheet, citing concerns over the National Testing Agency's (NTA) 90-day record retention policy, which may lead to destruction of original exam records. Another plea seeks greater transparency in the NEET-PG answer key disclosure process. Hearings are scheduled for October 15, with the court emphasizing the urgency due to impending deadlines and prior legal proceedings.
