NEET Result Controversy: Concerns raised after SC’s notice to NTA over examination process

Professional teacher and Petitioner Nitin Vijay (NC Sir) on June 14 raised concerns over the developments in the examination process. He said, “We have two main concerns - paper leak and grace marks. Now that NTA has accepted that grace marks were awarded to some students, then why is the chance of re-test given only to those students who filed writ petition in High court not to those who filed complaints only with local authorities? How can an aspirant from a village file a petition in court? NTA should open a window to invite complaints, verify them and then conduct Re-NEET. Ranks have inflated due to cheating and paper leak. The future of 24 lakh students is at stake. Shouldn`t every aspirant get a fair chance?” The Supreme Court has issued notice to the National Testing Agency (NTA) and Centre on a batch of petitions raising concerns about paper leaks and seeking a CBI investigation into the alleged instances of paper leaks in the conduct of the NEET-UG 2024 exam on May 5 this year.
