NEET UG Results 2024: SC To Hear Plea Seeking Cancellation Of Results, Re-Examination Over 'Paper Leak' Today

The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear a petition seeking cancellation of NEET-UG 2024 exam results and re-examination over alleged paper leak. 

A vacation bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Ahsanuddin Amanullah will hear the matter today.

It may be noted that on May 17, the Supreme Court issued notice on a petition seeking the cancellation of the test on the grounds of paper leak. However, the top court had refused to stay the results.

One of the petition filed in the Supreme Court states the grant of grace marks was a mala fide excersice by the National Testing Agency to give backdoor entry to certain students. The petitioners have primarily challenged the grace marks granted to certain students over delay during the exam, and have sought to recall the results and conduct of fresh exams for admissions to NEET-UG.

The petitioners have contended that the grant of grace marks was arbitrary and it is statistically impossible to score marks as high as  718 & 719 out of 720 that were secured by several students.
