NTA releases final scorecard
The NTA released the updated scorecard on the directions of the Supreme Court which had upheld the revised evaluation process, including adjustments made to the physics section of the exam.
On Tuesday, the apex court had directed the testing agency to re-evaluate the scores in light of IIT-Delhi’s expert opinion about a physics question, which said that a question cannot have two correct answers and only option should be deemed as right.
“We accept the IIT Delhi report and accordingly NTA shall re-tally the NEET UG result on the basis that option 4 represents the only correct answer to the question,” Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud had stated.
As per the revised final results declared by the NTA on Friday, forty-four out of the 67 candidates who were earlier declared toppers had scored full marks because of the marks awarded for that particular physics question.
The number of toppers was later reduced to 61 with the agency withdrawing grace marks awarded to six candidates to make up for loss of time at few exam centres.
SC dismisses pleas seeking NEET-UG 2024 re-test
Meanwhile, in a major setback to unsuccessful aspirants of NEET-UG 2024, the Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed the pleas seeking cancellation and re-test of the controversy-ridden exam, holding that there was no evidence on record to conclude that it was “vitiated” on account of “systemic breach” of its sanctity.
The verdict came as a shot in the arm for the embattled NDA government and the NTA which were facing strong criticism and protests, on streets and in Parliament, over alleged large-scale malpractices like question paper leak, fraud and impersonation in the prestigious test held on May 5.
The CBI is probing alleged irregularities in NEET-UG 2024 and has lodged six FIRs. The NEET-UG is conducted by the National Testing Agency for admissions to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH and other related courses in government and private institutions.
