The petitioner has urged SC to reconduct NEET-UG 2026 under the supervision of a judicially appointed, high-powered committee. The proposed panel, the plea reads, should be chaired by a retired SC judge and include a cybersecurity expert and a forensic scientist to ensure the integrity of the exam.

The plea also calls for interim oversight by such a committee pending the constitution of a National Examination Integrity Commission (NEIC).
