Doctors’ organisations have moved the Supreme Court seeking major reforms to the NEET-UG exam system after the NEET-UG 2026 test was cancelled. Multiple reports say the petitions were filed following allegations that the question paper was leaked for the undergraduate medical entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on May 3. The exam was cancelled on May 12 as irregularities were reported, and investigators are probing the allegations, with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) mentioned as conducting the inquiry.
The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA), represented by advocate Tanvi Dubey, asks the court to dissolve or replace the NTA with a more “autonomous” and technologically robust body, and to implement stronger digital safeguards. FAIMA’s plea also seeks court-monitored oversight, including a temporary monitoring mechanism until a new structure is put in place. Reports describe a proposed committee composition that includes a retired Supreme Court judge and specialists in cybersecurity and forensics.
Another doctors’ group, United Doctors Front (UDF), similarly argues that the alleged leak reflects recurring and systemic failures and calls for making the exam-conducting body answerable to Parliament. Across accounts, the petitions focus on preventing future paper leaks and improving transparency and fairness in national entrance examinations.
