New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to cancel the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET)-UG 2024 exam on the ground of paper leak and malpractices.
A bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said an order to conduct a re-test - for an exam for 24 lakh aspiring medical professionals, many of whom travelled hundreds of kilometres from hometowns to exam centres - would have "big consequences".
"At the present stage it is difficult to come to a conclusion that the entire system has been vitiated... or that the sanctity of the exam has been breached," the court said.
