Another petition, filed by the United Doctors Front, attacks the legal structure of the NTA itself and seeks its dissolution in the present form.
The petition claims the recurring paper leak controversies violate Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution by compromising merit-based selection and affecting the careers of over 22 lakh candidates.
It also relies on reports of a “guess paper” racket allegedly uncovered by the Rajasthan Police Special Operations Group (SOG), which reportedly found substantial overlap between a circulated document and the actual NEET-UG 2026 paper.
The plea further states that despite recommendations made after the NEET-UG 2024 controversy, including by the K Radhakrishnan Committee, meaningful reforms were not implemented.
Among the measures sought are transition to CBT or hybrid examination models, digital locking of question papers and constitution of a court-monitored committee to oversee future national examinations.
Another petition, filed by the United Doctors Front, attacks the legal structure of the NTA itself and seeks its dissolution in the present form.
The plea argues that the NTA, being a society registered under the Societies Registration Act of 1860, lacks direct parliamentary accountability and functions in what it describes as an “accountability vacuum.”
Thus, the plea has sought a direction to the Union government to establish a statutory national testing body through legislation passed by Parliament.
