The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition challenging the final answer key and results of the NEET-UG 2025 exam, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
A bench of Justices P.S. Narasimha and R. Mahadevan ruled that the court would not intervene in national-level exam results based on an individual petition. The bench noted that questions may sometimes have more than one correct answer and emphasized that this case lacked grounds for judicial interference.
The petitioner had relied on an earlier SC order from 2024, where the court had directed NTA to re-tally NEET-UG marks due to large-scale discrepancies and a flawed physics question. However, the court clarified that the 2024 order was specific to that year&rsquo;s irregularities and does not apply to the 2025 exam.
The plea, filed by advocate Sriram P., alleged that the NTA arbitrarily rejected objections supported by academic sources. One example cited was related to cortisol&rsquo;s role in cardiovascular function, which, if accepted, could have improved the petitioner&rsquo;s rank by five marks.
This marks the second rejection by the apex court of a petition challenging NEET-UG 2025&rsquo;s answer key.
