2024 NEET UG controversy update
Earlier on July 5, NTA told the SC that cancellation of the controversy-ridden NEET-UG 2024 examination would be hugely counterproductive and significantly harmful to the larger public interest, especially to the career prospects of those who cleared it. The NTA said other individual instances of alleged use of unfair means by certain candidates are very few and do not have any co-relation with the purported malpractices which are referred to by the petitioners. Referring to the measures adopted by the NTA to ensure the integrity of the examination process, the agency said 63 cases of use of unfair means were reported, and a committee submitted its recommendations for appropriate action.
Meanwhile, the top court is scheduled to hear on July 8 a batch of pleas, including those alleging irregularities in the examination held on May 5 and seeking a direction that it be held afresh.
