NEET-UG Row: 1563 Candidates Given Grace Marks to See Scorecards Cancelled; Re-Test Option Offered

The Center has made a significant decision regarding the NEET-UG 2024 results. It informed the Supreme Court that the scorecards of 1563 candidates who were awarded grace marks would be cancelled. These students will now have two options: either take a re-test or have their results calculated based on the marks obtained without the grace marks.

The controversy arose due to an unusually large number of candidates scoring perfectly in the entrance test this year. A four-member committee formed by the National Testing Agency (NTA) is closely monitoring the situation. The retest is scheduled for June 23, 2024.

NEET-UG Result Controversy: No Evidence of Paper Leak, but 1563 Candidates Face Invalidated Scores

The Supreme Court is currently deliberating on petitions related to the NEET-UG 2024 results. These petitions were prompted by allegations of a paper leak and irregularities in the allocation of grace marks. Here are the key points:

1. Invalidated Scores: The scores of 1563 NEET-UG 2024 candidates have been invalidated due to the controversy. These candidates now have two options: either take a re-examination or have their results calculated without the grace marks.
2. Re-Examination Date: The re-examination for these affected candidates is scheduled for June 23, 2024. Results and counseling are expected by June 30.
3. Petitions and Challenges: The court is hearing multiple petitions seeking to cancel the NEET-UG 2024 test and conduct a retest. These petitions challenge the results based on widespread irregularities and the NTA’s decision to award grace marks to over 1500 candidates due to “loss of time.”
4. NTA’s Response: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has responded to concerns raised about the exam, including a viral video showing a UP candidate’s torn OMR sheet. The NTA maintains that there was no paper leak and that allegations of corruption are unfounded.
5. Supreme Court’s Stance: While acknowledging that the sanctity of the medical entrance examination has been compromised, the Supreme Court did not stay the counseling process for undergraduate medical admissions. Further hearings are scheduled for July 8.
