Today(on 27th June), The Supreme Court has issued notice in a petition by Xylem Learning regarding alleged malpractices in NEET-UG 2024, including issues with OMR sheets and mark discrepancies. Multiple petitions have been consolidated for a hearing on July 8, 2024, seeking responses from the National Testing Agency, with Senior Advocate R Basant representing the coaching centre.
The Supreme Court today issued a notice to the National Testing Agency (NTA) following a petition alleging exam rigging in the recent NEET-UG exams. Concerns were raised about inconsistent marks and malpractice, leading to investigations and arrests. The court scheduled a hearing for July 8 and emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in the examination process.
The government passed stricter laws to prosecute those involved in cheating during NEET and NET exams. Offenders now face harsher penalties, including up to 10 years in prison and hefty fines. New rules also hold educational institutions and coaching centers accountable for facilitating unfair practices. The legislation aims to ensure integrity in public examinations.
The Supreme Court refused to hear a petition for investigating irregularities in the NEET-UG 2024 exam by ED and CBI, scheduling the next hearing for July 8. It stayed proceedings on related cases in multiple high courts and issued notices to transfer them to the Supreme Court for consolidated consideration. The court also addressed other petitions regarding the exam.
The Congress party called for a Supreme Court-monitored probe into alleged irregularities in the NEET examination, accusing the ruling BJP of deceiving young people. The National Testing Agency refuted the claims, attributing higher student scores to textbook updates and grace marks. The Congress insists on a fair and transparent investigation.
