    The Supreme Court will hear today petitions seeking to cancel the NEET-UG 2024 test held on May 5 over alleged paper leak and malpractices..

    A bench comprising Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra will hear the matter post 10.30 AM. The NEET matters are listed as items 5 to 9.

    The Central Government and the National Testing Agency have opposed the demand for re-test by stating that the malpractices are localised and have not affected the sanctity of the entire exam. The Centre cited a data analytics report prepared by IIT Madras to argue that there was no systemic failure as the report did not indicate any "mass malpractice".

    During the hearing held on July 8, the bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud sought the responses of the Union/NTA on the extent of the paper leak and possible segregation of the wrongdoers from others. The Court said that if the sanctity of the entire exam has been affected and it was impossible to separate the beneficiaries of fraud from the honest candidates, then a re-test may be necessary. The Court also said that the re-test would be the last option, considering the impact on nearly 24 lakh students.
