The National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducted the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) (undergraduate) 2024, has informed the Supreme Court that a central piece of evidence to show that a mass paper leak had happened a day prior to the exam on May 5, was edited to create a “false impression of an early leak”.
The Supreme Court today addressed concerns over the alleged NEET-UG, 2024 question paper leak, emphasizing the need for identifying beneficiaries rigorously and considering a retest if the leak was widespread. The NTA was directed to respond to specific inquiries, and the Court scrutinized various factors related to the alleged malpractices and paper leaks. The next hearing is scheduled for July 11, 2024.
