SC to hear plea seeking disclosure of NEET-PG question paper

NEW DELHI [Maha Media]:  The Supreme Court on Friday is slated to resume hearing a petition challenging the refusal of the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to disclose question papers, answer keys, or response sheets of candidates of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance (NEET)-PG 2024 exam.

The NEET-PG exam was conducted by the NBE on August 11 and the results were announced on August 23.

As per the causelist published on the website of the apex court, a bench, headed by CJI D.Y. Chandrachud, will resume hearing the matter on September 20.

Last week, the Bench, also comprising Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Miara, agreed to examine the issues raised in the petition and asked the petitioner side to serve a copy of the plea on the NBE, apart from serving the standing counsel.

The plea said that there was a clear lack of transparency in the conduct of the examination since none of the documents allowed students to check their performance, adding that neither the question paper, nor the response sheet filled in by candidates, nor an answer key was supplied to the students, and merely a score card has been provided.
