The controversy erupted after an unusually high number of students scored a perfect 720 in the NEET-UG exam.
A 'solver gang' that leaks exam papers and also provides proxy candidates who would sit for an exam has come into the limelight amid a row over the medical entrance test NEET. The NEET-UG exam, held in May, had to be cancelled after an investigation revealed that the paper had been leaked in Bihar. Police believe that Ravi Atri, the head of a nationwide 'solver gang', is the alleged mastermind behind the leak that has cast a shadow over India's prestigious medical entrance examination.
The controversy erupted after an unusually high number of students scored a perfect 720 in the NEET-UG exam. Initially attributed to grace marks due to a faulty question and logistical issues, subsequent investigations by Bihar Police uncovered a different aspect: the exam paper had been leaked to select candidates a day before the exam.
Despite the NTA's attempts to manage the fallout, accusations of a widespread leak persisted, prompting protests and legal cases nationwide. The Supreme Court also intervened, chastising the NTA for handling the matter.
