NEET PG: Plea challenges re-exam for 2,445 candidates affected by technical disruption
A lawyer brought before the Supreme Court a plea challenging the NEET-PG 2026 re-examination for 2,445 candidates who were unable to finish the test due to technical issues. The proposed make-up exam contravenes an earlier Supreme Court decision, the lawyer argued, and requested an urgent hearing. However, the court's Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana informed the lawyer that matters concerning NEET were being handled by a special bench under Justice PS Narasimha.
They instructed the lawyer to file the plea in that specific bench. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) announced a re-examination for the affected candidates shortly after the original NEET-PG 2026 exam was held on August 30 nationwide. Out of the 265,980 participants, 263,535 candidates successfully completed the test.
Approximately 2,445 individuals were prevented from finishing the exam due to power-related complications at two centres in Jaipur’s Sitapura region.
