Overview<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An examinee in the medical exam found their NEET-UG 2025 question paper to be scrambled, blocks of questions had been shuffled (1-27, 54-81, 28- 53, 118-151, 82-117 and 152-180), which did not follow the normal layout of the OMR sheet (1-180). This non-conformance could have led to errors in marking and time mismanagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A two-judge bench comprising <strong>Justice B. V. Nagarathna<\/strong> and <strong>Justice K. V. Viswanathan<\/strong> ordered that the National Testing Agency complete the manual evaluation of the assessment in one week. It was observed that the immediate manual assessment was necessary to maintain fairness and accuracy in the evaluation process. During the hearing exercise, <strong>Additional Solicitor General Archana Pathak Dave<\/strong> confirmed the error arose from the improper stapling process when preparing the examination paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Detail<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Information<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Exam<\/strong><\/td><td>NEET-UG 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Issue<\/strong><\/td><td>Incorrect sequence in the question paper<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cause<\/strong><\/td><td>Stapling error<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SC Directive<\/strong><\/td><td>Manual re-evaluation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Order Date<\/strong><\/td><td>August 5, 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Evaluation Deadline<\/strong><\/td><td>Within one week<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-manual-stapling-led-to-the-sequencing-error\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manual_Stapling_Led_to_the_Sequencing_Error\"><\/span><strong>Manual Stapling Led to the Sequencing Error<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The NTA (National Testing Agency) stated that the anomalous arrangement of questions was caused by incorrect stapling during the manual assembly of the candidate\u2019s question paper. This error disrupted the sequence of questions, causing a mismatch between the printed paper and the said OMR sheet. Labeling it a \u201crarest of rare\u201d event, the NTA pointed out that such incidents occur very infrequently in NEET history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Supreme Court hearing, the bench expressed concerns about semi-skilled or semi-literate individuals handling the most critical tasks; a small mistake can greatly affect marks, ranking, and career prospects for an aspirant. The Court reminded everyone about the importance of checks and multi-layered verification for checking the papers, paper arrangement, sequence, and so on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-facts-of-the-neet-2025-wrong-sequence-case\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Facts_of_the_NEET_2025_Wrong_Sequence_Case\"><\/span><strong>Key Facts of the NEET 2025 Wrong Sequence Case:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Error:<\/strong> Incorrect stapling during booklet assembly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Impact:<\/strong> Sequence mismatch with OMR sheet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NTA:<\/strong> Termed it \u201crarest of rare.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Supreme Court: <\/strong>Stressed oversight, automation, and stricter quality checks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-neet-2025-wrong-sequence-case-hon-ble-sc-intervention\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NEET_2025_Wrong_Sequence_Case_Honble_SC_Intervention\"><\/span><strong>NEET 2025 Wrong Sequence Case: Hon\u2019ble SC Intervention<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The NEET-UG 2025 wrong-sequence controversy reached the Supreme Court, where <strong>Justices B.
