A Supreme Court bench headed by Justice P S Narasimha will hear a plea challenging the decision to conduct NEET-UG 2026 re-test in July.
The plea was filed after the National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Undergraduate), or NEET-UG, held on May 3 due to allegations of paper leak.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is currently investigating the matter, and a re-test is scheduled for June 21.
The fresh plea has sought a direction to the Centre and others to implement secure technology-driven digital examination and evaluation mechanisms for future national-level exams.
It also sought a direction to the Centre to constitute an independent expert committee for examining structural, institutional and operational deficiencies in the functioning of the NTA.
The plea has sought quashing of the decision to re-conduct NEET-UG 2026 and an interim relief to stay the effect of the decision pending final disposal of the petition.
