The Supreme Court will be hearing a petition today regarding the normalisation of marks, answer keys, and results for NEET PG 2024. Students have raised concerns about the transparency of the selection process, while the National Board of Examinations for Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has cited the difficulty of generating new questions as the reason for not releasing answer keys. With experts warning of a potential 'tripledemic' this winter in the UK and India, the transparency of entrance exams becomes even more crucial in ensuring the selection of qualified candidates for medical courses.
The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has declared the result for the NEET PG exam 2024, which was conducted on August 11. The cutoff percentile for different categories has also been announced. The result is valid only for the current admission session and cannot be carried forward. Candidates can check their scores and download the result from the official NBEMS website.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) will announce the revised results for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2024, considering the correct option for the controversial physics question. This will change the ranks and scores of many candidates and the NTA will also alter the NEET UG percentile. The NEET UG revised result link will be available on the official website, exams.nta.ac.in/NEET/.
After allegations of paper leak and irregularities in the NEET-UG 2024 exam, the Supreme Court has postponed the hearing to July 18. The central government has stated that there were no abnormalities in the examination, while the NEET counselling has been postponed indefinitely. The controversy began when 67 students scored a perfect 720, with allegations of paper leak and logistical delays at some centers. Despite the NTA's attempts to manage the situation, protests and legal actions across the country have continued. Amidst all this, IBNS aims to provide objective news without being driven by any ism or ideology.
The Supreme Court has postponed the hearing on alleged irregularities surrounding NEET UG 2024 exams and calls for re-examination to July 18, after the Solicitor General requested rescheduling due to personal commitments. The Centre has previously submitted to the court that their analysis did not reveal any widespread anomalies and there was no evidence of any specific group of candidates benefiting from the leak. The court had earlier directed the National Testing Agency to disclose details about the leak, locations, and time lag between the leak and the exam.
