A bench consisting of Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, along with Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra will hear the pleas on the alleged irregularities in the conduct of NEET UG 2024 on July 11, 2024. Earlier the Supreme Court said that if the integrity of the medical entrance exam is compromised and its question paper leaked through social media, a re-test must be considered.
