The Supreme Court will hear petitions demanding major reforms in the NEET UG examination system after allegations of a paper leak in NEET UG 2026. Petitioners have sought restructuring of the National Testing Agency, implementation of stricter security measures, judicial supervision of future exams, and a detailed CBI report on the investigation into the controversy.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Supreme Court<\/a> is set to hear a crucial petition on Thursday seeking the dismantling or restructuring of the National Testing Agency (NTA) over the alleged NEET UG 2026 paper leak controversy, a case that has once again placed the country\u2019s medical entrance examination system under intense scrutiny according to media reports.The plea has been jointly filed by the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) and United Doctors Front (UDF), both of which have accused the NTA of failing to protect the integrity of one of India\u2019s largest and most competitive examinations.The matter comes days after the apex court made strong observations against the testing agency, remarking that it was \u201csad that NTA has not learned lessons from the earlier NEET paper leak.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supreme Court seeks answers from Centre, NTA and CBI<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

A bench comprising Justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe had earlier sought responses from the Centre, the NTA, and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on the pleas demanding the replacement of the existing examination body with a stronger and autonomous institution.The court directed the NTA to file an affidavit by Thursday detailing its compliance with the directions issued by the Supreme Court in 2024 following the earlier NEET controversy. The apex court also ordered the agency to submit a counter-affidavit in the present matter.The chairman of the monitoring committee has additionally been asked to ensure strict compliance with the court\u2019s previous directions. The petitions have also been served to Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and other parties connected with the case.<\/p>\n

FAIMA calls NEET UG 2026 leak a \u2018systemic failure\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

In its petition, FAIMA argued that the alleged leak and the subsequent cancellation of NEET UG 2026 exposed a \u201csystemic failure\u201d in the functioning of the NTA.The medical association stated that repeated controversies surrounding the examination have severely damaged public trust in the country\u2019s examination system and raised serious questions about the agency\u2019s ability to conduct secure and transparent tests.The petitioners have urged the court to either replace the NTA entirely or radically overhaul its structure by creating a more secure and independent mechanism to conduct NEET UG examinations in the future.<\/p>\n

Demand for high-powered monitoring committee<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

One of the key demands made in the plea is the constitution of a high-powered monitoring committee to supervise the re-conduct of NEET UG 2026.According to the petitioners, the committee should include:<\/p>\n
