The Supreme Court ordered the NTA to explain in writing why it never implemented the reforms an earlier high-powered committee had already recommended after 2024.
The NTA has said NEET-UG will move to a computer-based test format starting next year, as a security fix.
Medical associations have asked the Court to order NEET-UG 2026 re-conducted under a retired Supreme Court judge's oversight — not yet granted.
Pradhan himself promised this after the 2024 verdict. A near-identical leak happened again in 2026.
"There is no evidence of a paper leak in NEET-UG. The allegations are completely baseless and politically motivated."
