NEET-UG Paper Leak Row: The Supreme Court of India on Monday heard a petition filed by the United Doctors Front (UDF) raising issues related to the functioning of the National Testing Agency and the conduct of examinations such as NEET-UG.

During the hearing, the bench expressed concern over the recurring controversies linked to examination management despite the issues that surfaced in 2024. Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice P.S. Narasimha orally observed that it was “disappointing” that lessons had not been learned despite previous interventions by the Court and the constitution of committees to improve the system.
