The Supreme Court on Tuesday (June 11) said the 'sanctity of exam has been affected' on grounds of 'paper leak' and other 'malpractices'. The top court has refused to stay the counselling process for admissions in MBBS, other courses for successful candidates.
The top court has sought the response of National Testing Agency (NTA) on a plea seeking fresh National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Undergraduate) (NEET-UG), 2024.
The court will hear the plea on July 8 along with other pleas in the matter.
"We will not stop the counselling, if you argue further we will dismiss this," a vacation bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah said.
NEET-UG, 2024 was held on May 5 and its results were declared on June 4. It was expected to be declared on June 14.
The NTA conducts the NEET-UG examination for admissions to MBBS, BDS and AYUSH and other related courses in government and private institutions across the country.
The top court tagged the plea filed by Shivangi Mishra and others with the pending one. The plea alleged that NEET-UG, 2024, was riddled with malpractices as various instances of paper leaks have come to the knowledge of the petitioners.
The alleged paper leak was violative of Article 14 (right to equality) under the Constitution as it gave an undue advantage to some candidates over others who chose to attempt the examination in a fair manner, it said.
