The Supreme Court today said that there will be no re-test for the 2024 NEET-UG exam, reasoning there is no data to suggest a “systemic breach” or that the “sanctity” of the examination, following two localised leaks of the question paper, had been affected.
A bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said an order to conduct a re-test – for an exam for 23.33 lakh aspiring medical professionals, many of whom travelled hundreds of kilometres from hometowns to exam centres – would have “big consequences”.
“At the present stage it is difficult to come to a conclusion that the entire system has been vitiated… or that the sanctity of the exam has been breached,” the court said.
