New Delhi, June 07 (HS). The Delhi High Court, while hearing a petition complaining about two correct answers to a question in the NEET exam, has sought a reply from the National Testing Agency (NTA). The vacation bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma directed the NTA to present its stand on this next week.
A student who appeared in the NEET exam filed a petition saying that in the NEET exam, two correct answers were given as options for question number 29 in test booklet number R5. The petition said that in any competitive exam, all the candidates should be evaluated equally. Despite this, NTA has given equal marks to those who gave both the correct answers of that question, whereas NTA itself has said in its instructions that only one answer will be correct.
The petitioner has said that he did not try to answer that question in the NEET exam, due to which he got only 633 marks out of a total of 720 marks and his all India rank became 44,700. The petition states that due to one mark, there was a significant change in his all India rank, in such a situation, NTA should republish the result. The petition states that the result released on June 3 is arbitrary and biased. The petition states that in the NEET 2024 exam, 67 students scored 720 out of 720 marks whereas this was not the case before.
