The NEET situation
Based on the latest information, here are the key points regarding the NEET UG 2024 exam situation:
- The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that the NEET-UG 2024 exam will be conducted again, but only for a limited number of candidates – approximately 1,563 students.
- This re-examination is being held for candidates who received compensatory marks due to not being allotted the full 3 hours 20 minutes at their exam centers.
- The re-exam is likely to be conducted on June 23, with results expected by June 30 to ensure timely NEET 2024 counselling.
- The NTA has denied any reports of paper leaks, calling them “completely false and baseless”.
- There have been widespread complaints and controversies surrounding the NEET UG 2024 results, including concerns about unusually high scores and suspicions over top scorers coming from the same exam center.
- The Supreme Court has issued notices to the NTA regarding petitions alleging paper leaks and other irregularities, but has declined to stay the ongoing counselling process.
- A high-level committee has been formed to review the issues, and further steps will be taken based on their recommendations.
- For the majority of candidates who took the exam on May 5, 2024, there are currently no plans to conduct a full re-examination.
In summary, while there will be a limited re-examination for specific candidates affected by time allocation issues, there are no plans for a widespread re-conduct of the NEET UG 2024 exam for all students at this time. The situation remains under review by authorities and the courts.
