NEET Exam 2024: NEET to be held again, NTA admits mistake in Supreme Court | ABP News
The Supreme Court will hear pleas from the National Testing Agency (NTA), urging the transfer of multiple cases concerning the NEET UG 2024 exam from various High Courts across the country to the apex court. This move comes amidst ongoing controversies surrounding the examination, with the NTA seeking a unified judicial review under the Supreme Court's jurisdiction. The Centre informed the Supreme Court on Thursday that it has decided to cancel the grace marks awarded to 1,563 students. These students will be notified of their actual scores, excluding the grace marks, and will be offered the option to retake the exam. The counsel representing the Union Government conveyed this to the Supreme Court on Thursday. If the students choose not to retake the exam, their scores from the May 5 exam will be considered. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan addressed the NEET exam controversy on Thursday, asserting the National Testing Agency's (NTA) commitment to follow Supreme Court directives. "The NTA is committed to taking appropriate action in compliance with the directives of the Honorable Supreme Court regarding the NEET exam issue. As per the Supreme Court's instructions, the exam will be re-conducted for 1,563 students," Pradhan said.
