The Supreme Court of India has issued a notice to the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the Union government regarding allegations of irregularities, fraudulent practices, and a paper leak in the NEET-UG exam. The court highlighted concerns about discrepancies, including a specific issue with question number 28, which had two correct answers. A vacation bench of the Supreme Court emphasized the need for timely action to address these allegations and urged the Centre and NTA to rectify any mistakes. The court stressed that even 0.001% negligence should be thoroughly dealt with and emphasized the importance of not undermining the efforts of students. This notice has prompted calls for re-examination and accountability in the medical admissions process. The SC bench has tagged this petition with similar matters listed on July 8.
