The Delhi High Court has issued notices in response to four new petitions challenging the award of grace marks and alleging a paper leak in the NEET (UG) Examination held on May 5. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has been asked to respond to the petitions. The NTA is in the process of filing a transfer plea before the Supreme Court to consolidate all related petitions for a unified hearing. The Delhi High Court has scheduled the fresh petitions for a hearing on July 5. Additionally, a separate plea seeking the cancellation of the NEET (UG) examination due to allegations of a paper leak has been noticed by the Supreme Court, with a hearing scheduled for July 8. A 17-year-old student has also challenged the NTA over alleged inconsistencies in the NEET (UG) 2024 examination, specifically regarding a disputed question. The petitioner argues that the NTA's decision to award marks to students who selected either of the two correct answers unfairly benefits those who guessed or inadvertently marked one of the correct answers, discriminating against candidates who followed the instructions. The petitioner seeks a reassessment of the disputed question and a revision of the results to ensure equity and fairness in the examination process. The High Court has sought the NTA's stand on the matter. [Extracted from the article] |
