On Friday, the Supreme Court refused to delay the NEET-UG 2024 counselling, scheduled to begin on July 6, amid allegations of irregularities in the examination conducted on May 5.
A vacation bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath and SVN Bhatti issued notices to the National Testing Agency (NTA), the Centre, and others, seeking their responses to a petition calling for the exam's cancellation.
The petitioners argued for a brief pause in the counselling process until July 8, when the court will hear other related pleas. However, the bench emphasized that counselling is a continuous process and should not be interrupted.
