The Federation of Indian Medical Associations (FAIMA) has raised serious concerns regarding the National Testing Agency (NTA) in a petition to the Supreme Court of India, citing a 'recurring, systemic, and catastrophic' failure in conducting the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG). FAIMA claims that the NTA has ignored the recommendations of the Radhakrishnan Committee and the Supreme Court's directives following the 2024 exam leak. The petition emphasizes the need for stringent penalties for non-compliance and urges the Supreme Court to invoke its extraordinary jurisdiction to ensure a modern, foolproof examination system. FAIMA criticizes the NTA's heavy reliance on unverified private service providers for logistics and security, which has led to multiple breaches, including unauthorized access to examination materials. The petition warns that continuing to use the same flawed methods for future exams will likely result in further leaks, jeopardizing the futures of millions of students. FAIMA also highlights that the NTA's claimed technological upgrades are ineffective and that the existing legal framework lacks the necessary preventive measures to address these issues proactively. The organization calls for the Supreme Court to establish permanent guidelines for transparency and digital security in examination processes.
