The NTA's decision to remove "grace marks" awarded to some NEET 2024 aspirants could impact the top scorers. These extra marks were given to compensate for alleged time loss during the exam. With the removal of these marks, some students who achieved perfect scores might see their grades drop by 60-70 points. This raises questions about the fairness of the scoring system and adds anxiety for those who excelled in the exam.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is taking a second look at NEET-UG 2024 scores due to concerns about irregularities and potentially inflated marks, according to internal sources. This re-evaluation could significantly impact the top scorers. Sources claim that removing "grace marks" awarded for alleged time loss during the exam could affect six out of the 67 top students. These marks, calculated using a formula, might be reduced by a substantial amount, ranging from 60-70 points. This change would particularly impact students who took the exam at a specific center in Jhajjar, Haryana. In the lead-up to a critical Supreme Court hearing on July 8th, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has reversed its decision to award extra marks (grace marks) to 1,563 NEET 2024 aspirants. These students will now have to retake the exam on June 23rd.
Facing criticism for inconsistencies in the NEET 2024 exam, the National Testing Agency (NTA) is taking steps to address them. In six centers, students received incorrect exam papers, leading the NTA to award "grace marks" for the lost time. However, the agency is also taking action against these centers to ensure fairness. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is facing the heat for inconsistencies in the recently concluded NEET 2024 exam. To address concerns about lost time due to incorrectly distributed exam papers in six centers, the NTA awarded "grace marks" to affected students. However, this decision has drawn criticism, and the NTA is taking action against these centers to ensure a level playing field for all test-takers.
On another front, the NTA is attempting to quell anxieties surrounding alleged paper leaks in other NEET 2024 centers. They've analyzed the score distribution in these centers and claim that most students scored below the minimum threshold of 500 marks required to secure a medical seat. This, according to the NTA, suggests that students in these centers, located in Bihar and Godhra, Gujarat, did not gain an unfair advantage from the leaks. However, investigations are still ongoing in these locations following arrests. The upcoming Supreme Court hearing on July 8th will likely shed further light on how the NTA plans to handle these irregularities and ensure the integrity of the NEET 2024 process.
Meanwhile, the NTA is downplaying concerns about leaks in other NEET 2024 centers. They point out that in centers facing allegations of paper leaks, most students scored below the minimum threshold of 500 marks required for a medical seat. This, according to the NTA, suggests students in these centers (Bihar and Godhra, Gujarat) did not gain an unfair advantage from the alleged leaks. Investigations are still ongoing in these locations following arrests.
The Supreme Court has allowed the NEET 2024 counselling process to proceed as scheduled for July 6th, despite ongoing controversy surrounding the exam's integrity. This decision comes amidst accusations of irregularities, prompting the court to issue notices to the government and the National Testing Agency (NTA) demanding responses to petitions filed by students and academicians challenging the NEET 2024 results.
The court expressed strong disapproval towards the government and the NTA, emphasizing that even the slightest negligence (0.001%) in conducting the NEET 2024 exam wouldn't be tolerated. They urged the NTA to take full responsibility for any errors that may have occurred.
These allegations have ignited protests across the country, with many demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has made particularly serious claims, alleging that in some NEET 2024 exam centers, students were instructed to leave their OMR sheets blank, which were then supposedly filled in by teachers. The AAP further asserts that the government is aware of this purported NEET 2024 scam and is actively trying to suppress it.
