Why did the Supreme Court rule out the cancellation and retest of NEET-UG 2024 exam

Legal decision in response to demands for retest.
1. The Supreme Court ruled out the cancellation and retest of the NEET-UG 2024 exam due to various factors:
  • The principle of examination integrity was upheld, as cancelling the exam and ordering a retest would compromise the fairness of the process.
  • It would have caused inconvenience to a large number of examinees who had already taken the exam and prepared for it diligently.
  • It would have led to a delay in the academic calendar and admission process for medical colleges, impacting the future of aspiring medical students.
  • There was insufficient evidence of widespread malpractice or irregularities that warranted a retest, according to the court's assessment.
Overall, the decision aimed to maintain the credibility and efficiency of the examination system.
