The Supreme Court has once again refused to halt the NEET-UG 2024 counselling amidst widespread controversy over alleged irregularities in the exam’s administration. The apex court has notified the National Testing Agency.
The Supreme Court has grouped the new petitions with existing ones and scheduled them for a hearing on July 8.
On Thursday, the apex court paused proceedings in three high courts that are hearing petitions challenging the NEET-UG 2024 exam and calling for an independent investigation into alleged malpractices, including a paper leak and the awarding of grace marks.
A vacation bench of Justices Vikram Nath and SVN Bhatti issued notice on four transfer petitions filed by the National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts NEET-UG, and 11 other petitions raising similar concerns. The matter was scheduled with a batch of pending cases on the same issue for a hearing on July 8.
This is a developing story.
