Supreme Court To Hear NEET-UG Re-test Plea In July

A Supreme Court bench headed by Justice P S Narasimha will hear in July a plea challenging the decision to conduct NEET-UG 2026 re-test. The National Testing Agency cancelled the original NEET-UG held on May 3 following allegations of paper leak, with a re-test scheduled for June 21. The CBI is investigating the matter.

The fresh petition seeks to quash the re-test decision and requests the court to direct the Centre to implement secure, technology-driven examination mechanisms including encrypted digital question delivery and biometric authentication. It also seeks constitution of an independent expert committee to examine structural and operational deficiencies in the NTA's functioning.
