The Supreme Court of India has dismissed petitions seeking the cancellation and re-test of the NEET-UG 2024 exam, citing a lack of evidence for a systemic leak of question papers. The court acknowledged a leak in Hazaribagh but deemed it insufficient to warrant a nationwide re-test, considering the impact on over 24 lakh students. The court, however, recognized the potential for malpractices and stated that students found to have benefited from the leak would face repercussions, even after the completion of the counselling process. The decision comes amidst controversy surrounding widespread allegations of malpractices in the exam.
