Supreme Court Supports NEET-UG Exam Integrity

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan expressed relief following the Supreme Court's verdict that found no systemic breach in the NEET-UG exam, thus denying calls for a re-examination. He stated that the ruling vindicates the government's position and thanked the court for its justice, emphasizing the commitment to a 'Tamper-free, Transparent & Zero-error examination system'. The Supreme Court's detailed judgment noted that irregularities were limited and directed the National Testing Agency to halt inconsistent actions that harm students' interests. Pradhan pledged to implement recommendations from a high-level expert committee to further enhance the examination process. However, opposition voices, including Congress MPs, raised concerns about the integrity of the exam and called for a re-evaluation of the system, citing specific anomalies. The expert committee's report is expected by September 30, which may lead to significant reforms in the examination process.
