Overview

• A bench led by Chief Justice B. R. Gavai with Justice K. Vinod Chandran is slated to take up the plea on September 1, according to the court causelist.
• NBEMS’s August 21 corrective notice requires publishing responses and answer keys only by master Question ID numbers rather than each candidate’s test sequence.
• With questions and options shuffled in the exam, the petitioners say the Question-ID-only display prevents candidate-wise mapping and thwarts effective cross-checking or objections.
• The PIL seeks disclosure of the actual question order seen by each candidate, their responses, the official correct answers and marks, alongside a practical objection mechanism.
• The plea cites prior Supreme Court transparency directions and practices in IIT-JEE, CLAT and AIIMS INI-CET, emphasizes it does not seek re-evaluation, and flags the stakes for scarce postgraduate seats.
