The Supreme Court of India has declined to grant an urgent hearing regarding a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that called for a computer-based test (CBT) for the NEET-UG re-examination scheduled for June 21. This decision was announced on Monday by a bench comprising Justices P S Narasimha and Aravind Kumar, who indicated that similar pleas had been dismissed previously. The matter has been postponed for a hearing in July. The petitioner, Sudhakar Singh, a Member of Parliament from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), argued that implementing a CBT could help mitigate the risk of question paper leaks, a concern that has plagued the examination system. The bench pointed out that the authorities were already facing challenges in organizing the re-examination within a limited timeframe. The NTA informed the court that future NEET-UG exams would be conducted in CBT mode, enhancing surveillance and coordination among agencies. The court highlighted the importance of holding individuals accountable for the paper leak incidents to prevent future occurrences.
