In a major development on the NEET UG row, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled out the possibility of a re-test. In its decision, the top court said that in light of the available facts, it would not be proper to go for re-examination.
During the hearing, the Supreme Court said that it could not be denied that the paper leak had happened in Bihar and Hazaribagh. However, the top court said that there is no indication of a systematic leak of question paper which indicates a disruption of the sanctity of the exam. On the CBI findings, the apex said that 155 candidates benefitted from the irregularities. The court said, “The CBI investigation is incomplete, so we had asked the NTA to clarify whether the fraud was large-scale or not. The Centre and the NTA have cited the IIT Madras report in their reply.”
