  • Number of Petitions: 38 concerning NEET UG 2024

 Background

The NEET UG 2024 exam was held on May 5, 2024, across hundreds of centers in India. Results were declared on June 4, 2024, ten days earlier than scheduled. This year’s exam saw 67 toppers, which led to protests and demands for a re-test due to alleged irregularities in the marking system and paper leaks.

Response from Authorities

The Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA), responsible for conducting the exam, argued that canceling the exam would harm honest candidates without proof of large-scale breaches. They also canceled grace marks for 1,563 candidates and offered them a re-test option.
