A petition was filed in the Supreme Court on Wednesday (May 13, 2025) seeking a direction to the Centre to “replace or fundamentally restructure” the National Testing Agency (NTA) following the cancellation of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) Undergraduate exam for medical admissions in 2026 in colleges across the country.
The NTA cancelled the exam conducted on May 3 due to a question paper leak and widespread irregularities in the conduct of the exam. Over 22 lakh students had appeared in the national exam. NTA has announced a re-test.
