Students are very upset over the paper leak and other irregularities in the medical entrance exam NEET-UG 2024. The matter was heard by a vacation bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah of the Supreme Court on Tuesday, during which the court issued notice to the central government and the National Testing Agency (NTA) seeking a response on the petition seeking permission to re-take the exam.
However, the court refused to stop the counseling of the passed candidates for admission to MBBS, BDS and other courses or cancel the exam. The court said that the sanctity of NEET-UG has been affected, so we want an answer. The Supreme Court also issued a notice to the Bihar government as there were allegations of malpractice in conducting the NEET exam in Bihar. The Supreme Court will hold regular hearing from July 8 after the summer vacation is over. Responding to the plea of the lawyer of the petitioner students to stop the counseling of the students, the court said that even if the counseling starts, we are not stopping the counseling and will not stop it. If you argue too much, we will reject this petition.
