Over 50 successful NEET-UG candidates from Gujarat, including several top-ranked students, have approached the Supreme Court seeking an order to prevent the Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA) from cancelling the controversial exam. They are also requesting the court to direct the Union Education Ministry to investigate and take strict action against those involved in unfair practices, such as paper leaks and impersonation, in the NEET-UG exam conducted on May 5 this year.
This fresh plea, filed by 56 students, comes just days before a Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud is scheduled to hear 26 petitions demanding a re-test and a probe into the alleged malpractices. Accusations of irregularities, including paper leaks, have sparked protests in several cities and intensified political disputes.
The petitions calling for the cancellation of the exam, a re-test, and a high-level investigation are set to be heard by the Supreme Court on 8th July.
