New Delhi: Six candidates who appeared for the re-conducted NEET UG 2026 examination have approached the Supreme Court alleging discrepancies between the answers they marked in their OMR sheets during the examination and the copies of those OMR sheets uploaded by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The candidates sought an urgent hearing before the commencement of the NEET UG 2026 counselling process. The matter was mentioned on Tuesday (August 4, 2026) before a Bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana. The NEET-UG 2026 exam, originally held on May 3, was cancelled following a paper leak and was re-conducted on June 21 by the NTA. The petition sought judicial intervention for verification of his original physical OMR answer sheet and preservation of all examination-related records.
