Top court refuses to alter format for NEET re-test

Supreme Court declines plea to hold NEET re-test in computer-based mode

India's Supreme Court refused to mandate a computer-based format for the NEET-UG 2026 re-exam (June 21), after the original May 3 test was cancelled nationwide over paper leak allegations, citing logistical constraints of switching modes on short notice. The NTA confirmed in its court affidavit it will transition NEET-UG to CBT from the next cycle — closing the last major analog paper-leak vector among its national examinations.
