The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) has approached the Supreme Court of India over alleged “systemic failure” by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in conducting NEET-UG 2026. Through advocate Tanvi Dubey, the association filed a petition seeking major reforms in the examination system. FAIMA has urged the court to replace or completely restructure the NTA.
The petition has requested the Supreme Court to direct the Union Government to establish a more advanced, transparent, and autonomous examination body for conducting NEET exams. FAIMA argued that repeated controversies surrounding national-level examinations have damaged students’ trust in the system. The association stressed the need for stronger security measures and improved accountability.
The plea came shortly after the NTA cancelled the NEET-UG 2026 examination held on May 3. Authorities took the decision after allegations of a paper leak surfaced across multiple states. The Central Government later transferred the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Reports claimed that “guess papers” circulated through WhatsApp and Telegram allegedly matched more than 100 questions from the actual exam paper. These allegations triggered widespread outrage among students and parents. FAIMA stated that such incidents exposed serious loopholes in the current examination process.
The association has also requested the formation of a High-Powered Monitoring Committee to supervise the fresh examination process. The proposed committee would include a retired Supreme Court judge, a cybersecurity expert, and a forensic scientist. According to the plea, the committee should oversee the re-conduct of NEET-UG 2026 until a new independent exam authority becomes operational.
FAIMA further urged the court to conduct the fresh NEET-UG exam under judicial supervision. The petition also recommended introducing digital locking systems for question papers and shifting the examination to a Computer-Based Test (CBT) model. The association believes these steps would reduce the risks linked to physical transportation and handling of question papers.
In addition, FAIMA asked the CBI to submit a status report before the Supreme Court within four weeks regarding the ongoing investigation into the alleged paper leak. The plea also demanded publication of centre-wise NEET-UG 2026 results to ensure transparency and help identify unusual patterns or irregularities in the examination process.
