Today, On 14th June, The Supreme Court called for a response from the Central Government and the National Testing Agency regarding a plea for a CBI investigation into alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG exam. The requests follow concerns about potential misconduct and errors in the examination process, including question paper leaks and suicides of students in Kota. The court emphasizes the need for a response from the NTA before making a decision. The NEET-UG exam, conducted on May 5 with around 24 lakh candidates, has faced allegations of irregularities, including question paper leaks, leading to protests and demands for investigation. The Centre and NTA have revoked grace marks for some candidates and offered them the option to retake the exam or relinquish the compensatory marks. The NEET-UG exam, organized by the NTA, is a nationwide test for admissions to various medical courses in India.
Today(on 13th June), The Supreme Court upheld the decision to revoke grace marks from 1,563 NEET UG candidates due to inadequate exam time. Candidates can opt for a re-exam or accept revised scores without ‘grace marks’. The court postponed discussion on NEET UG cancellation to July 8 and is set to hear petitions related to the controversy. NTA reported 63 cases of unfair means in the exam and has taken strict actions against the accused, aiming to maintain integrity.
