On May 29, the Supreme Court of India will hear a petition from the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) and the United Doctors Front (UDF) that calls for the dismantling or comprehensive restructuring of the National Testing Agency (NTA) due to the alleged paper leak in the NEET UG 2026 examination. Advocate Satyam Singh, representing the petitioners, argued that the NTA's failure to secure the exam has led to a 'systemic collapse' in maintaining the examination's integrity. The petitioners demand a robust and independent authority to conduct the NEET UG exams, aiming for enhanced transparency and accountability. The Supreme Court bench, led by Justice P S Narasimha, expressed disappointment over the NTA's failure to learn from past mistakes related to paper leaks, highlighting the need for an affidavit detailing compliance with previous recommendations made by a monitoring committee. The court has directed that copies of the petition be served to all respondents and instructed the NTA to provide a counter affidavit.
