What has the Supreme Court said?

During its July 8 hearing, the Supreme Court requested that the NTA clarify when the question paper leak occurred, how the papers were leaked, and the time period between the Leak and the actual NEET-UG test on May 5.

The Supreme Court also directed the central government to submit the affidavits about its behavior and asked the CBI to submit the status report on NEET-UG exam. Another aspect noted by the court during examination was on compromise.

So again, the notion of an independent exam is out the door, and it can be seen that it has been violated. Quite logically, the existence of a leak is not denied, and the type of the leakage is being studied. In this case, the number of cancellations will not be affected when it is not extensive. But since this concern involves 23 lakh students, one should know the extent of leakage before conducting a retest, as per the three-judge bench.

Affidavits filed in the Supreme Court by the Centre and the NTA

On Wednesday, the Centre filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court, claiming that there was no evidence of widespread fraud or that a specific group of candidates benefited, resulting in aberrant NEET-UG 2024 scores.

It is also pointed IIT-Madras’ data analytics on the NEET UG results that the marks distribution resembles the bell-shaped curve in any mass examination which is free of any anomaly.

The Union government’s affidavit also alludes to measures it had put in place as a measure to prevent cheating and address the vices.

At the same time, the NTA filed an affidavit in Supreme Court and said that only few candidates 47 alleged to have indulged in paper leak and manipulation in OMR sheet and other related activities. It also noted that they are beginning to look at changing the mode of assessment from OMR (pen and paper) to online tests.

The NTA further stated that it would be relying on the IIT-Madras report during the Thursday sessions.

Eight students were detained for NEET-UG 2024 anomalies.
