Supreme Court says there will be no NEET retest, not enough evidence to prove systematic leak

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled against the demand to reconduct the NEET-UG exam, saying there was no sufficient evidence to indicate a systemic leak of the question paper. The court also emphasised that directing a fresh NEET-UG would have serious consequences on the 24 lakh students who appeared for the exam.
