Supreme Court Declines Plea on Errors in NEET-UG 2025 Questions
The apex bench directed petitioners to approach high courts to resolve exam grievances without halting the NEET-UG counselling schedule.
Overview
- On August 1, the Supreme Court refused to entertain a petition alleging serious errors in three NEET-UG 2025 questions and asked the petitioner to withdraw and approach the high court.
- Justices P S Narasimha and A S Chandurkar noted that the examination was already complete and said redirecting challenges would preserve candidates’ legal remedies.
- Petitioner’s counsel cited two expert opinions asserting the three questions were wrong and argued the mistakes cost the petitioner 13 marks.
- After the bench expressed its disinclination to hear the case, the counsel withdrew the petition, mirroring the Court’s July 4 refusal to consider another NEET-UG 2025 results challenge.
- Conducted by the National Testing Agency for over two million applicants, NEET-UG admissions have seen repeated technical error claims but no retests or counselling delays have been ordered.
