The controversy surrounding NEET-UG 2024 results, the SC’s stance, and the calls for re-examination
admin
The National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET-UG) results have caused an uproar this year, with aspirants and parents demanding a probe and re-examination, alleging that the paper was leaked at certain centres where students later received high scores and complaints over “inflation of marks” of students who were compensated with grace marks for the loss of time.
The results of the country's biggest entrance exam for admissions to undergraduate medical courses have triggered a political row, with Opposition parties like the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party demanding a probe into the matter. The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought answers from the National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the exam, while emphasising that the “sanctity has been affected, we need answers,” as it reacted to the petition filed by 10 NEET candidates. The matter is listed for a hearing on July 8.
Ever since the NEET-UG 2024 results were announced by the NTA on June 4, students, parents and educational professionals have raised complaints about students getting much higher marks than last year, with an unprecedented 67 students who received full marks (720/720) and shared rank one as compared to two students last year
