NEET Exam Row: Central govt asks Bihar EOU for detailed report of the ongoing controversy

The Supreme Court will again hear on Thursday a batch of petitions challenging the National Entrance-cum-Eligibility Test (NEET-UG 2024) results. The court had earlier directed the clubbing of all petitions alleging paper leak and seeking probe into the same and listed them on July 8.

The vacation bench will also hear petitions filed by National Testing Agency seeking transfer of cases, pertaining to NEET-UG, 2024, from various high courts to Supreme Court. 

The Centre last week told the Supreme Court that it has decided to cancel the grace marks awarded to1563 NEET-UG 2024 candidates in NEET-UG 2024 results. Centre adds that these 1563 students will be given an option to take a re-test or their result will be calculated on marks obtained without grace marks. The Supreme Court accepted this proposal after confirming with petitioners that they do not have any problem with this.
