Supreme Court Defers NEET-PG Transparency Case by Two Weeks

Petitioners contest NBEMS’s shift to question-ID answer keys, calling the format non-verifiable.

Overview

  • The apex court adjourned the consolidated NEET-PG transparency petitions for two weeks, delaying a resolution on disclosure rules.
  • According to reports, around 11 pleas from aspirants and doctors challenge NBEMS’s rollback from publishing full question papers with detailed answer keys.
  • NBEMS announced on August 21 it would release questions, responses and keys, then issued a corrective notice restricting disclosure to question and answer IDs.
  • Petitioners argue the ID-only release violates constitutional guarantees of fairness under Articles 14 and 21 and seek full disclosure rather than re-evaluation.
  • The Medical Counselling Committee has not released the 50% All-India Quota counselling schedule, which may be pushed back depending on the court’s directions.
