The Supreme Court issued a directive to the National Testing Agency (NTA) to prevent any further ‘flip-flops’ concerning the NEET-UG 2024 exam on Friday. The court said that such inconsistencies in a national examination are detrimental to students’ interests.
A three-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud has mandated that the expert committee rectify the deficiencies in the NEET-UG exam system.
The Supreme Court was explaining its decision not to cancel the 2024 NEET-UG medical entrance exam, despite ongoing controversies over alleged paper leaks and other irregularities.
SC said it didn’t cancel NEET-UG exam as there was no systematic breach of sanctity but NTA must avoid ‘flip-flop’. The apex court said that the paper leak was restricted to Patna and Hazaribagh.
A three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, also said the expert committee must rectify the deficiencies in the exam system.
