Doctors' Body Moves Supreme Court Seeking Dissolution of NTA After NEET-UG Paper Leak
The plea alleges a systemic failure in NEET-UG 2026 and seeks a statutory testing body after the exam was cancelled.
- On Saturday, the United Doctors Front petitioned the Supreme Court to dissolve the National Testing Agency , alleging "systemic and catastrophic failure" in conducting the NEET-UG 2026 examination.
- Following allegations of a large-scale "guess paper" leak, the NTA cancelled the May 3 examination on May 12, forcing nearly 22.7 lakh aspirants to prepare for a re-examination on June 21.
- Central Bureau of Investigation agents arrested Pune-based professor P.V. Kulkarni on Friday, identifying him as the "source" of the leak after he hosted coaching sessions that dictated questions appearing on the actual paper.
- Arguing the NTA operates in an "accountability vacuum," the UDF petition contends its status under the Societies Registration Act shields it from parliamentary oversight and financial audits.
- Citing the failure of the Public Examinations Act, 2024, petitioners demand the government replace the NTA with a statutory body created by Parliament.
