NEET UG 2024 Results Controversy: AISA Protests At NTA Headquarters; Demands Re-Exam

AISA Delhi State Secretary Neha, along with parents and aspirants, submitted a memorandum including the demands raised by the students.

AISA joined the protest call by NEET aspirants at the NTA headquarters.

The NEET 2024 results were announced on June 4, and since then, many concerns regarding paper leaks and irregularities have been raised. AISA on Tuesday, joined the protest call by NEET aspirants at the NTA headquarters, where students raised their concerns about faults in the exam process and the results. They demanded the scrapping of the results and a re-conduction of the NEET exam. Additionally, they reiterated their demand to discontinue allotting tenders to NTA for any further exams.

AISA Delhi State Secretary Neha, along with parents and aspirants, submitted a memorandum including the demands raised by the students. Initially, the NTA director refused to meet with the aspirants and parents, but after prolonged protest, one official met the students and accepted the memorandum.

AISA Delhi State Secretary Neha said, "Director of Examination, Vijay Kumar, met with us and acknowledged all the faults highlighted in our memorandum, including the faulty 'grace marks', the paper leak in Patna, and the discrepancies in marking, but he informed us that he has no power over the issue."

"While we were informed that a committee is being formed to look into the issue of grace marks, we were not provided with the constituents of this 'independent committee'. We want to ask the NTA and its parent body, the Ministry of Education, how long they plan to escape all responsibility and play with the lives of students," Neha added.

Notably, the Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notice to the National Testing Agency (NTA) in the matter pertaining to dicrepancies in the NEET-UG results 2024. A bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Ahsanuddin Amanullah issued notice to NTA and remarked that "sanctity has been affected, so we need answers."

The bench has listed the matter for further hearing on July 8 after vacations. The top court also ordered for the tagging of other petitions in this matter. However, the court refuses to stay counselling.
