NEET : The decision was rendered by the Supreme Court. There won’t be a re-examination, the CJI bench declared during the verdict announcement. The Supreme Court ruled that there was insufficient evidence to establish a breach of the exam’s sanctity.
The Chief Justice’s bench stated that the primary concern brought before the court in these cases is to order a retest on the grounds that the question paper was leaked and there were systematic errors in the way the test was administered. However, they reserved their decision. In addition to 4750 centers across 571 locations, 14 overseas countries hosted the NEET UG exam.
NEET At the beginning of the order, the CJI noted the case’s facts and the lengthy arguments made by each side. According to him, 24 lakh students are vying for just 1,08,000 spots. The information that 50% is the cutoff percentage has been provided to the court. There are 180 questions on the test, each worth 720 marks, and incorrect responses result in a deduction in score. It was argued that Paperleak was systemic in nature and that retesting would be the only reasonable course of action in light of structural flaws. Nevertheless, there is insufficient proof to establish that the exam’s integrity was broken.
What is the entire matter?
Students were upset over the paper leak after the NEET results were revealed on June 4. There have been reports of a paper leak in Bihar earlier. When the results were announced later, it was discovered that 67 exam winners—many of whom came from the same exam center—had difficulty understanding two questions’ worth of answers, grace marks, and other points. Concurrently, irate National Testing Agency students staged nationwide protests against the agency’s manipulation of results and paper leaks.
Due to possible paper leaks during the examination, a number of applications for reexamination were filed in high courts around the nation. Following this, the Supreme Court’s hearing on each petition began concurrently. This hearing included a wide range of topics, including the CBI probe, the Sikar and Godhra incidents, the Bihar paper leak, the Hazaribagh case, and two replies to a single question. After hearing arguments from all sides, the panel of the supreme court determined that a decision must be made as soon as possible since pupils cannot be kept in the dark. In light of this, the Supreme Court rendered its decision today.
