Supreme Court expands NEET reform committee's scope, rejects re-test plea, and sets deadline for examination system improvements.
The Supreme Court on August 2 pronounced a detailed judgment enhancing the ambit of the government appointed committee considering reforms in NEET.
A three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud made it a point to mention that though the plea for re-test has been rejected, irregularities in the conduct of the exam saw an unprecedented 44 candidates get perfect scores.
The Chief Justice told NTA and the Centre that extreme care should be taken to avoid the conduct of the exam in such a slipshod manner the next year.
The top court also fixed September 30 as the deadline for filing of report by panel led by ex-ISRO chief K. Radhakrishnan to rectify deficiencies in examination system.
