The Supreme Court is set to hear a petition today seeking cancellation of the NEET-UG 2024 exam and holding a re-exam over alleged paper leak and grace marks issues. The petition, filed by Shivangi Mishra and nine others, is scheduled for hearing before a vacation bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Ahsanuddin Amanullah. The plea was lodged on June 1, prior to the results announcement, and has since garnered additional petitions questioning the National Testing Agency’s decision to grant grace marks to certain candidates.
