The Supreme Court on Thursday heard a clutch of petitions seeking re-test or cancellation of the 2024 NEET-UG.
The Supreme Court on Thursday heard a clutch of petitions seeking re-test or cancellation of the 2024 NEET-UG - for entrance to undergraduate medical courses - and raised concerns over the stand of the Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA) -- the body that conducts the nationwide exam -- that the paper leak happened only about 45 minutes before the start of the exam in certain centres.
The results of the 2024 NEET-UG exam, which was held on May 5 and attended by nearly 24 lakh aspiring medical professionals, have been plagued by allegations of leaked question papers and incorrectly awarded 'grace marks'.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who represented the NTA, submitted that as per the CBI investigation, at a particular centre in Jharkhand's Hazaribagh, a person unauthorizedly took photographs of the question papers between 8 AM and 9.20 AM on the day of the exam. The CBI has been tasked with investigating the case.
