'Will monitor throughout the year': SC assures 'institutionalisation' of NEET reforms
Supreme Court directed the central government to file detailed affidavits on progress of NEET-UG reforms, aiming to institutionalize changes rather than rely on ad hoc measures.
A bench of Justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe emphasized that deploying the Indian Air Force for safe transportation of questions was only an ad hoc response to the paper leak, not a permanent solution.
The Court will closely monitor the implementation of reforms throughout the year, seeking status reports on pre-exam, during-exam, and post-exam stages.
The bench demanded details on proposed governing board, expert-led units, stakeholder nominations, and implementation of High-Powered Committee recommendations across ten verticals.
