The Supreme Court has adjourned the hearing of NEET UG 2024 case to July 18.A bench led by Chief Justice of India, D Y Chandrachud granted the adjournment to enable parties to file their responses to the affidavits filed by the Centre and the NTA. The Apex Court was scheduled to hear a series of petitions on Thursday, concerning the controversial NEET-UG 2024 medical entrance exam. These include, pleas alleging irregularities and malpractices during the May 5 test and seeking a fresh examination.. Earlier on Monday, the Supreme Court said, the integrity of NEET-UG 2024 had been compromised.The bench also observed that the Centre and NTA had filed their affidavits in compliance with the apex court's July 8 order.
According to the Centre's affidavit, it firmly opposes the demand for a re-test. It also asserted that a comprehensive report from IIT-Madras refutes allegations of widespread malpractices or illicit benefits to candidates at some select centres. It added that there was neither any indication of "mass malpractice" nor a localised set of candidates being benefitted, leading to abnormal scores in NEET-UG 2024.

The NEET-UG 2024 exam held on May 5 was marred by controversies regarding paper leaks and some students being provided grace marks. The CBI, which is investigating the case, has arrested eight people so far.
