In its initial meetings, the committee reportedly discussed giving an opportunity to the ‘compensated’ candidates to either retake the exam or accept their scores before the addition of grace marks .
While announcing the formation of a panel headed by the former chairman of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to look into the grace marks obtained by students, NTA had said that NEET results 2024 of the 1,563 candidates will be revised, if needed, based on the recommendations of the committee.
Following the allegations of ‘irregularities’, ‘scam’, and paper leak in NEET UG 2024 result by students and opposition as 67 candidates secured the first rank and some were awarded grace marks, the testing agency had clarified that 1,563 students were given compensation for the loss of time while 44 got AIR 1 due to a physics question with two correct answers. These candidates had approached the high courts and a grievance redressal committee was formed to look into their concerns, it said.
Several candidates urged the exam conducting body to cancel the exam held on May 5 and conduct a re-exam alleging error in NEET 2024 result.
Recently, the Supreme Court sought NTA’s response on the NEET 2024 controversy and paper leak reports while hearing the plea filed by medical aspirants. The court observed that the sanctity of the exam has been ‘compromised’.
Meanwhile, some NEET aspirants have started an online petition to prevent a re-exam citing mental harassment to the ‘genuine’ hardworking students.
