What is the Supreme Court's notice about NEET PG 2026?
The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Centre and the National Medical Commission regarding a petition that seeks greater transparency in the NEET PG 2026 exam. The court wants the government to respond to the plea that demands disclosure of exam questions, candidates' recorded responses, and the correct answers.
Who filed the plea and what does it request?
The plea was filed by the Democratic Medical Association and other petitioners. They want candidates to have access to the actual questions and answer options shown during the exam, along with their recorded responses and the official correct answers. This is to ensure candidates can independently verify if their answers were evaluated correctly.
Why is transparency in NEET PG important?
Transparency helps build trust in the examination process. It allows candidates to confirm that their answer sheets were evaluated fairly and accurately. Without access to questions and responses, candidates cannot verify if any errors occurred during evaluation, which can affect their results and future opportunities.
When was NEET PG 2026 conducted and were there any issues?
The NEET PG 2026 exam was held on August 30. A supplementary re-exam took place on September 5 for candidates who faced technical disruptions at a test centre in Jaipur. These disruptions affected some candidates' ability to complete the exam on the original date.
What are the next steps following the Supreme Court notice?
The Supreme Court has tagged this petition with other pending pleas related to NEET PG. The Union of India and the National Medical Commission must provide their responses to the court. The court will then decide on the matter based on these submissions.
