On Friday, the Supreme Court declined to hear a plea asserting that there were “serious errors” in three questions from the NEET-UG 2025 examination.
A bench of Justices P S Narasimha and A S Chandurkar advised the petitioner’s counsel to approach the relevant high court.
The National Testing Agency conducts the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) for admissions to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, and other related courses in both government and private institutions nationwide.
The petitioner’s counsel argued that the three questions were incorrect, citing two expert opinions that supported this claim. He stated that these questions affected the petitioner’s score by 13 marks.
“These (three) questions were absolutely wrong. I have taken two expert opinions and those experts also concur with my views. They have certified my views,” the counsel of the petitioner argued.
The bench noted that the exam had already concluded.
“You withdraw this and go to the high court,” the bench suggested, emphasising not wanting to deny the petitioner any remedy. The counsel requested that the Supreme Court appoint a panel of experts to review the questions within three days and consider their opinions.
After the bench expressed unwillingness to entertain the plea, the petitioner’s counsel decided to withdraw it.
On July 4, the Supreme Court also declined to entertain a separate petition challenging the NEET-UG 2025 results due to an alleged error in one of the questions.
