Supreme Court Dismisses NEET-UG 2024 Re-test Plea Amidst Leak Controversy

The Supreme Court of India has dismissed petitions seeking the cancellation and re-test of the NEET-UG 2024 exam, citing a lack of evidence for a systemic leak of question papers. The court acknowledged a leak in Hazaribagh but deemed it insufficient to warrant a nationwide re-test, considering the impact on over 24 lakh students. The court, however, recognized the potential for malpractices and stated that students found to have benefited from the leak would face repercussions, even after the completion of the counselling process. The decision comes amidst controversy surrounding widespread allegations of malpractices in the exam.

NEET-UG Revised Results Spark Controversy as Jhajjar Centre Scores Fall

The National Testing Agency (NTA) released revised NEET-UG 2024 results, masking candidate identities as ordered by the Supreme Court. The revised results show a significant drop in scores from the Jhajjar centre in Haryana, where six students initially scored perfect 720/720. The controversy stems from the initial results where an unprecedented 67 students achieved perfect scores, leading to accusations of irregularities and potential paper leaks. The NTA initially attributed the high scores to grace marks awarded to students due to exam delays. However, the government later revoked these grace marks, leading to a re-test and nationwide protests. The revised results, while masking individual identities, reveal a lower performance at the Jhajjar centre, further fueling the controversy.
