The government tells the Supreme Court that a shift to a computer-based NEET-UG in 2027 is still under “active consideration,” as the exam approaches and reforms are being planned. The court seeks clarity on the timeline for implementation and what changes will be reflected on the ground.

The submissions come amid broader preparations and discussions around reforming the NEET-UG process. One report says the government points to the Nilekani task force’s work, with a potential report expected by September-end. The Supreme Court also asks when the proposed changes will translate into practical steps for candidates and conducting bodies.

Across the sources, the common thread is the court’s push for a concrete schedule and the government’s position that the computer-based format is not yet finalised. The coverage focuses less on any particular policy outcome and more on the status of planning, the role of expert inputs, and the need to align official decisions with timelines the court can track.
