[NEET Exam 2024 Controversy] Student Accused of Damaging OMR Sheet Filed Petition in High Court

Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow: The NEET 2024 results, with a new case from Lucknow adding fuel to the fire. A student named Ayushi Patel has accused the National Testing Agency (NTA) of grave oversight after allegedly receiving a damaged OMR sheet.

Patel has filed a petition in the Allahabad High Court, seeking a re-evaluation of her OMR sheet. The hearing is set for Tuesday.

Patel shared a video on social media displaying her NEET admit card and explaining the sequence of events.

On June 4, the day results were supposed to be announced, her result page showed the message,

“Your result is not generated.” An hour later, she received an email from NTA stating her result could not be generated due to a damaged OMR sheet. “This has shocked my family and me profoundly,” Patel said in her video.

Within 24 hours, Patel received her OMR sheet, which she claims appeared intentionally tampered with.

“The answers I marked were clearly visible, and according to a re-evaluation, I scored 715 out of 720,” Patel claimed. She compared her scores with the answer key officially released by NTA, which matched her claims.

Patel’s struggles with the NEET exam are not new; this was her third attempt, having scored 535 and 517 in her previous tries.

“I have completely lost faith in the examination process and my studies due to these irregularities,” she stated, urging for a recheck of her paper to validate her rank.

In response to the widespread dissatisfaction with the exam results, a large number of NEET candidates in Lucknow participated in a protest on Saturday, demanding a re-conduction of the exam and a thorough investigation by the CBI into the alleged malpractices.

Sources within the Ministry of Education suggest that a committee might recommend a course of action by Tuesday night. Additionally, a significant hearing involving other NEET 2024 candidates is scheduled at the Delhi High Court on Wednesday.
