NEW DELHI: A group of NEET-PG 2024 aspirants has taken their concerns regarding the examination process to the Supreme Court by filing a review petition. The petition outlines several critical issues that they believe need to be addressed to ensure a fair and transparent evaluation process.
Among the key concerns raised are the need for greater transparency in the exam, the normalization of marks across different batches, and the overall validity of the exam results.
In their plea, the petitioners have requested that the Supreme Court direct the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), the organization responsible for conducting the NEET-PG exam, to release the official answer key and the response sheet. This would provide aspirants with the ability to cross-check their answers, enhancing transparency.
The petition includes a request to the court to-
“pass any other such further or other writ, order or directions as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the present case.”
This appeal reflects the students’ desire for greater fairness and accuracy in the final results and seeks assurances that the evaluation process is conducted with the highest standards of accountability and integrity.
NEET-PG 2024 Examination Process
The NEET-PG 2024 examination was successfully conducted on August 11 at 416 centres spread across 170 cities. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences, an autonomous body operating under the Union health ministry, oversaw the entire process.
In an effort to ensure that the most suitable and reputed examination centres were chosen, the exam was held in two shifts on the same day. This strategic move aimed to facilitate smooth and efficient operations during the examination.

NEET-PG 2024 Results
The results of the NEET-PG 2024 examination were announced on August 24. Along with the results, NBEMS clarified that there would be no provision for re-evaluation, rechecking, or re-totaling of the responses submitted by candidates.
The cutoff percentile for qualification was established at 50 percentile for candidates from the general and EWS (Economically Weaker Section) categories. For aspirants belonging to SC/ST/OBC categories, including those with disabilities (PwD) from these groups, the cutoff was set at the 40 percentile. Additionally, the cutoff for UR (unreserved) PwD candidates was fixed at the 45 percentile.
The petition filed by the aspirants serves as a significant push for reforms in the examination process, aiming to secure fairness and transparency in one of the country’s most competitive medical entrance exams.
The outcome of the case remains to be seen, but the petitioners hope their efforts will lead to improvements in the system, ensuring a more equitable evaluation process for future candidates.
