The Supreme Court today declined to halt the NEET-UG 2024 counselling process and sent a notice to the National Testing Agency (NTA). The Court clubbed new pleas with existing petitions and set a hearing date for July 8. This decision comes amid ongoing legal challenges regarding the NEET-UG examination.

The issue relating to the grant of grace marks in the NEET (UG) examination has already been closed by the Supreme Court after the NTA submitted the scorecards of 1,563 candidates, who were awarded compensatory marks on account of the loss of time. These candidates were given an option to appear in a re-test to be held on June 23 or appear in counselling on the basis of actual marks obtained in the examination.
