Supreme Court Grapples with NEET-UG 2024: Paper Leak, Counselling, and Future Safeguards


The NEET-UG 2024 exam has been a subject of controversy, and the Supreme Court recently addressed several key points related to it:

1. Counselling Status and Paper Leak Investigation:

o   The Union Government and the National Testing Agency (NTA) must decide on the status of counselling.

o   The process of identifying beneficiaries affected by the paper leak is ongoing.

o   The counselling, initially scheduled for July 6, has been deferred.

 

2.     Segregation of Students:

o   The Court emphasized the need to segregate students who may have benefited from the leaked question paper from those who did not.

o   If the paper leak significantly compromised the exam’s sanctity, a re-test may be necessary.

 

3.     Disclosure and Modalities:

o   The Court sought disclosure from the Union government and NTA regarding modalities between the exam date (May 5) and the actual counselling process.

o   Specifically, the Court wants clarity on how the situation will be handled during this interim period.

 

4.     Preventing Future Breaches:

o   The Court recommended setting up a multi-disciplinary team of experts.

o   This team would focus on ensuring the sanctity of future NEET exams and preventing similar incidents.

o   The team should include experts with domain knowledge, administration experience, and data analytics expertise.

The matter will be further considered on July 11 in the case of Vanshika Yadav v. UOI.
