NEET-UG 2024 Row Updates: The Supreme Court will hear a batch of pleas today, July 8, related to irregularities in the medical entrance exam NEET-UG 2024. The exam was held on May 5 with a re-exam for 1563 students who were awarded grace marks on June 23. The SC will now be hearing a batch of almost 40 pleas seeking direction to conduct a fresh exam. A three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra is scheduled to hear a total of 38 petitions related to the NEET UG 2024, reported PTI. The Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA), however, had filed affidavits against the demand for the cancellation of the exam stating that scrapping NEET UG 2024 exam held on May 5 would be “counterproductive” and “seriously jeopardise” several students in the absence of any proof of large-scale breach of confidentiality.
