Supreme Court Issues Notice on NEET-PG 2026: Petition Seeks Disclosure of Question Paper, Answer Key

The Supreme Court of India has issued a notice to the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) in connection with a petition seeking greater transparency in the NEET-PG 2026 examination process. The petition calls for the disclosure of the actual questions asked in the examination, the official answer key and candidates’ recorded responses. The development has drawn attention among medical graduates seeking admission to postgraduate medical courses.

The petition reportedly argues that making these details available would help candidates understand their performance and assess the evaluation process more clearly. Access to question papers, answer keys and individual responses is a key concern for candidates seeking clarity over how their examination performance is assessed. The plea has also brought renewed focus on transparency and accountability in competitive medical entrance examinations.

The Supreme Court’s notice seeks a response from NBEMS on the issues raised in the petition. However, issuing a notice does not mean that the court has accepted the petitioner’s demands or ordered the immediate release of the requested information. The next steps will depend on the response submitted by the examination authority and any further directions issued by the court.

NEET-PG is a national-level entrance examination for admission to postgraduate medical programmes, including Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Master of Surgery (MS) courses. Candidates will be watching the proceedings closely for updates on the disclosure of examination-related information. Any further developments will depend on the court’s subsequent proceedings and the official position taken by NBEMS.
