SG: No inflation; cites city success rates in NEET SC 2024 hearing

NEET UG 2024 SC In-person Hearing: The Supreme Court has begun hearing arguments for the revocation of the NEET UG results and a reexamination. In order to demonstrate that there has not been an increase in the number of applicants receiving medical admissions in comparison to prior years, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta has provided center-specific data. Additionally, the Solicitor General made note of the fact that there are no discrepancies in Hazaribagh or Patna, the two places that are being investigated in relation to claims of paper leaks.

Option 4 was the right response, according to Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Delhi), to the contentious question in the Physics section of the exam.

A lot of students received grace marks since the National Testing Agency (NTA) assigned two right answers to an ambiguous Physics question. On Monday, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud asked IIT Delhi to provide an expert judgment on the matter.

The Physics question is important since 44 students who scored highly on the undergraduate medical entrance exam received honors for it. Any choice made at this point could drastically alter the NEET rankings and have an impact on the test results for thousands of students.

"We ask that the Director of IIT Delhi form a three-person team."
