"Retest Our Last Option, Panel Must Probe Paper Leak": Supreme Court On NEET

New Delhi:

The Supreme Court has slow-played demands for a re-test of the NEET-UG exam.

The court acknowledged questions had been leaked – on social media and via popular messaging apps like Telegram and WhatsApp – at least 24 hours before the May 5 exam, but pointed to a lack of clarity over its spread. A bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud reasoned that ordering a re-test without understanding how many students had cheated would affect the lakhs who did not.
