A plea challenging the NEET PG 2026 re-exam for 2,445 Jaipur candidates was mentioned before the Supreme Court. The bench directed the advocate to approach the designated NEET bench headed by Justice P S Narasimha.
A plea challenging the NEET PG 2026 re-examination for 2,445 candidates was mentioned before the Supreme Court on September 2. The plea challenges the decision to conduct a separate NEET PG re-exam 2026 for candidates who could not complete the postgraduate medical entrance examination due to technical disruptions at two examination centres in Jaipur.
The matter was mentioned before a bench headed by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and comprising Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana. The advocate seeking an urgent hearing argued that the proposed NEET PG 2026 re-examination was contrary to an earlier order of the Supreme Court. However, the bench directed the lawyer to approach the designated bench headed by Justice P S Narasimha, where NEET-related matters are being heard.
The latest development comes days after the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) announced a re-examination for 2,445 candidates affected by technical disruptions during the NEET PG 2026 exam at two centres in Jaipur's Sitapura area. The NEET PG re-exam date 2026 has been scheduled for September 5 at 3 PM in Jaipur.
NEET PG 2026 Re-Exam Plea in Supreme Court
The NEET PG 2026 re-exam plea was mentioned before the Supreme Court after an advocate sought an urgent hearing against the retest decision. The challenge concerns the re-examination of 2,445 candidates who were unable to complete the NEET PG 2026 examination because of technical and power-related disruptions at two Jaipur centres.
The Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant did not take up the matter for hearing before that bench. Instead, it directed the advocate to approach the designated bench led by Justice P S Narasimha, which is already hearing NEET-related matters. The court's direction means that the latest development is a direction to approach the designated bench, rather than a final Supreme Court decision on whether the NEET PG re-exam 2026 should be conducted.
Candidates should therefore note that the September 5 NEET PG re-exam has not been cancelled by the Supreme Court through the development reported on September 2. Any change to the retest schedule would depend on a subsequent order or official notification.
