New Delhi: The Supreme Court Friday refused to entertain a plea which claimed there were “serious errors” in three questions asked in the NEET-UG 2025 examination.
The plea came up for hearing before a bench of Justices P S Narasimha and A S Chandurkar, which asked the counsel appearing for the petitioner to approach the concerned high court.
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) examination is conducted by the National Testing Agency for admissions to MBBS, BDS and AYUSH and other related courses in government and private institutions across the country.
“These (three) questions were absolutely wrong. I have taken two expert opinions and those experts also concur with my views. They have certified my views,” the counsel of the petitioner argued.
He argued these three questions were making a difference of 13 marks for the petitioner.
The bench observed that the exam was already over.
“You withdraw this and go to the high court,” the bench said. “We don’t want to close your remedy.”
The counsel urged that the apex court may appoint a panel of experts who can give an opinion on these three questions within three days.
He said the bench may take a view after hearing the opinions of a panel of experts.
After the bench showed its disinclination to entertain the plea, the petitioner’s counsel withdrew it.
On July 4, the apex court declined to entertain a separate petition challenging the NEET-UG 2025 results due to an alleged error in one of the questions.
