The Supreme Court of India is set to hear the much-anticipated NEET PG 2024 case today, Friday, September 22, 2023. This hearing follows a wave of petitions filed by aspiring medical professionals who are raising serious concerns about the transparency and fairness of the exam process.
At the heart of the issue are the abrupt changes made to the NEET PG exam pattern just days before the test. These changes, according to the petitioners, led to widespread confusion and may have unfairly impacted the results.
Furthermore, the petitioners are demanding greater transparency regarding the normalization process, a method used to adjust scores across different test papers to ensure a level playing field. They are calling for the release of the question papers, answer keys, and their raw scores to allow for a comprehensive assessment of the exam’s fairness.
The Supreme Court previously heard the case on September 13 and 20, focusing on the normalization process, answer keys, and exam results. The court expressed dissatisfaction with the National Board of Examinations (NBE) for making last-minute changes to the exam pattern.
The court’s decision will have a profound impact on the counseling process. Several states have suspended their counseling schedules, pending the Supreme Court’s ruling. The aspirants are anxiously awaiting the official counseling schedule announcement.
The NEET PG 2024 case is a crucial one, as it touches upon the fundamental principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability in the medical education system. The Supreme Court’s ruling will set a precedent for future medical entrance exams and will have a long-lasting impact on the lives of aspiring doctors across India.
