A petition has reportedly been moved before the Supreme Court seeking sweeping reforms in the conduct of NEET-UG 2026 following allegations of a paper leak. The plea demands that the National Testing Agency (NTA) be removed from overseeing the examination and calls for a fresh test to be conducted under the supervision of the apex court.
The petition claims that the controversy has raised serious concerns over the credibility and fairness of the country’s medical entrance examination system. It argues that students across India have lost confidence in the current mechanism and seeks the creation of an independent and transparent body to handle such examinations in the future.
The plea also reportedly asks the Court to form a judicially monitored committee to supervise future entrance tests and implement stricter security measures. Suggestions include the use of encrypted digital systems, tighter monitoring protocols, and the introduction of computer-based examinations to reduce the possibility of paper leaks.
The matter comes amid widespread outrage after allegations surfaced that the NEET-UG 2026 question paper had been leaked before the examination. Reports of similarities between circulated papers and the actual exam triggered protests from students and parents in several states.
The controversy has now attracted national attention, with investigating agencies probing the alleged leak and student groups demanding accountability. Meanwhile, thousands of aspirants continue to await clarity regarding the future of the examination process and the possibility of a re-test.
