The Supreme Court’s decision regarding the NEET-UG 2024 counselling process has sparked controversy and raised concerns over alleged irregularities in the examination. On Friday, June 21, the Supreme Court refused to stay the counselling process for the medical entrance exam while issuing a notice to the National Testing Agency (NTA). This decision came amidst ongoing petitions challenging the conduct of NEET-UG 2024 and seeking an independent probe into alleged malpractices such as paper leaks and the award of grace marks.
The top court tagged the fresh pleas and pending petitions and scheduled them for a hearing on July 8. This move follows the apex court’s decision to stay proceedings before three high courts that were hearing petitions related to the NEET-UG 2024 examination. The controversial result of the NEET-UG 2024 exam was presided over by a vacation bench of Justices Vikram Nath and SVN Bhatti.
The NEET-UG examination, conducted by the NTA, took place on May 5, and the results were announced on June 4. However, the integrity of the exam has come under scrutiny due to allegations of question paper leaks and irregularities. Protests erupted across the country following the declaration of results, with concerns raised about the examination’s fairness.
In response to the controversies surrounding the NEET-UG 2024 exam, Delhi Congress workers staged a protest near the BJP headquarters, raising allegations of question paper leaks in states like Bihar. The ongoing investigations have led to the apprehension of individuals involved in the case, including Anurag Yadav, Nitish Kumar, Amit Anand, and Sikandar Prasad Yadvendu.
As the NEET scandal unfolds, there is a growing demand for transparency and accountability in the examination process. The Supreme Court’s decision not to stay the counselling process has further fueled the debate over the conduct of NEET-UG 2024. With the counselling set to begin on July 6, stakeholders are closely monitoring developments in the case as it continues to unfold.
