Six NEET-UG candidates move Supreme Court over alleged discrepancies in OMR sheets
So here's a story that touches both exams and the judiciary, something you can relate to directly. Six NEET-UG candidates have gone to the Supreme Court saying the answers on their OMR sheets do not match the copies given to them by the National Testing Agency. The plea was mentioned before Chief Justice Surya Kant, and the students want an urgent hearing before counselling begins. What this really means is another round of scrutiny over NEET's evaluation process, following past controversies over the exam's transparency. Bottom line for your prep, keep NEET-UG and NTA on your radar, since examination integrity disputes keep showing up as GK questions on testing and administrative accountability.

SixNEET-UG candidatesapproached the Supreme Court on Tuesday (August 4, 2026) alleging discrepancies between the answers they had marked in their OMR sheets during the examination and the copies of those sheets made available by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
The plea was mentioned before Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, seeking an early hearing before the commencement of the counselling process.
The lawyer told a Bench comprising Chief Justice Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana that the case pertains to six students who secured more than 600 and 650 marks but claim that the OMR sheets uploaded by the NTA differ from the answers they had actually marked during the examination.
He also told the court that the students had emailed the NTA and also visited its office, but received no response.
The Bench then agreed to list the matter for hearing.
The NEET-UG 2026 exam, originally held on May 3, was cancelled following a paper leak and was re-conducted on June 21 by the NTA.
