Supreme Court defers NEET-UG 2026 re-test challenge hearing to July, petition questions nationwide exam cancellation

The Supreme Court has deferred the hearing of a petition challenging the NTA’s decision to cancel NEET-UG 2026 and conduct a nationwide re-examination for nearly 22 lakh candidates. The plea argues that genuine students should not face consequences for alleged irregularities and seeks a stay on the June 21 re-test along with reforms in examination systems.
