The Supreme Court is set to hear a petition from NEET PG 2024 aspirants today, October 4th, regarding their concerns about the exam pattern and the transparency of the results process. The hearing, which was previously postponed due to the absence of a Union of India representative, will address the anxieties of students who have raised concerns about unexpected low rankings after the exam.
This year, the NEET PG 2024 exam, conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE), was administered in two shifts instead of the usual single shift, leading to the implementation of a normalization process by the NBE. The results were announced on August 23rd, prompting a group of 19 students to file a petition with the Supreme Court, citing a lack of transparency and arbitrary last-minute changes in the exam format.
NEET PG is the national entrance exam for admission to postgraduate medical courses following MBBS and BDS degrees. The outcome of the hearing today holds significant implications for aspiring doctors and the future of medical education in India. The court’s decision will be closely observed for its impact on ensuring fair and transparent processes in future NEET PG examinations.
