The Supreme Court on Thursday deferred hearing of petitions concerning irregularities in conduct of this year’s National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) to July 18.
The matter was adjourned after the CJI DY Chandrachud led bench noted that some of the parties haven’t received the affidavits filed by the Centre and National Testing Agency (NTA) and that they need to apply their minds to the responses before arguments.
On Wednesday, the Centre filed an affidavit denying the alleged mass malpractices in the conduct of NEET-UG 2024 exam. The top court had asked the National Testing Agency (NTA) and Centre to explain to the court if the tainted candidates can be separated from the untainted ones. The court further asked Centre to tell what actions have been taken to ensure that students who benefitted from paper leak do not enter the system.
