The Supreme Court today was informed that a disputed physics question from the NEET-UG 2024 exam only had one correct answer, not two, according to a panel of three experts from IIT Delhi. This conclusion validates the National Testing Agency’s answer key. The court is reviewing petitions challenging NEET-UG due to various issues.
Pankaj Kumar, the alleged key accomplice in the NEET-UG paper-leak case, has been placed in CBI custody for 14 days by a Patna court. He is accused of stealing the exam paper from the NTA trunk in Jharkhand. The CBI will interrogate him about his involvement and connections in the theft. Several others have also been arrested in connection with the case. The investigation has revealed multiple irregularities in the 2024 NEET-UG, including impersonation and cheating.
The Supreme Court is hearing petitions today (11th July) about alleged malpractices in the NEET-UG 2024 exam, following reports of a paper leak. The CJI emphasized that a retest would be a last resort and directed petitioners’ counsels to file a common submission not exceeding 10 pages. The next hearing is scheduled for July 18.
