The Centre told the Supreme Court it will file an affidavit detailing safeguards followed from printing NEET question papers to their distribution. The court will examine the process while hearing petitions seeking stronger anti-paper leak measures, greater transparency and broader reforms to the medical entrance examination system.
New Delhi, August 3, 2026: The Centre on Monday told the Supreme Court that it would place on record the safeguards followed from the printing of NEET question papers until they reach students.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told a bench of Justices P.S. Narasimha and Alok Aradhe that the government wanted to explain the methodology through an affidavit, which would be filed during the day.
Mehta sought a hearing on Thursday or Friday. The bench said it would also like to understand the process and posted for Thursday a batch of pleas seeking additional safeguards for NEET question papers. The development puts the question paper handling process under closer scrutiny as the court examines measures intended to prevent leaks.
