The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) has been embroiled in controversy, with several aspirants alleging inflated marks resulting in 67 candidates achieving the top rank, including six from the same exam center.

Experts suggest the inflated marks could intensify competition for medical school admissions this year. With calls for an investigation growing, the situation remains uncertain, and it remains to be seen how the allegations will impact the future of NEET and medical education in India.
