NEET-UG 2024 Candidates Allege Discrepancies In Scores, Urges Supreme Court To Order Re-Evaluation Of All OMR Sheets

In a recent development concerning NEET-UG 2024 results, a petition filed in the Supreme Court seeks a comprehensive re-evaluation of all OMR answer sheets, re-ranking of candidates, and a court-monitored investigation. Eight candidates alleged 'arbitrary and illegal' actions by the National Testing Agency (NTA), citing discrepancies between scorecards and OMR sheets, unprecedented cutoff inflation leading to 67 perfect scores, and concerns over grace marks distribution without disclosed criteria. The petitioners urge for a mandamus to annul grace marks, re-evaluate OMR sheets without them, and form a high-powered committee for inquiry. The bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued notice on June 14, with further hearings scheduled for July 14 amidst related NEET-UG 2024 petitions.
