Over 50 NEET-UG candidates move to South Carolina to avoid exam cancellation.

Over 50 Gujarat-based NEET-UG candidates, including several who stood first, have moved the Supreme Court seeking a direction to restrain the Centre and the National Testing Agency from cancelling the controversial exam.

They have requested the Supreme Court to direct the Union Education Ministry to investigate, identify and take strict action against the students and

others who indulged in unfair practices like document leakage and identity theft during the NEET-UG exam held on May 5 this year.

The fresh petition by 56 students was filed days before a Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud is scheduled to hear as many as 26 petitions seeking relief such as a retest and an inquiry into the conduct of the exam plagued by allegations of malpractices.
