The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that there was absence of sufficient material indicative of any widespread breach of sanctity in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2024 that could justify cancelling the exam. The top court, however, pointed out the "flip-flops" of the National Testing Agency (NTA) in the conduct of NEET-UG 2024 and asked the Centre's high-level committee to review the Agency's operations and recommend reforms.
"The Centre has to restructure the whole process of NEET through the high-powered committee. It has to see to it that we do not have further such examples in the future," Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud told the Centre and NTA, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta.
"The NTA must avoid the flip-flops it has done in this case. These flip-flops of the NTA do not serve the interests of the students," the CJI said.
