Supreme Court to Hear NEET PG 2024 Case Today Amid Ongoing Transparency Concerns
Nineteen petitioners have challenged the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) over alleged transparency issues, irregularities in the NEET PG examination process, and the release of results.
The Supreme Court of India is set to hear a critical case today concerning the NEET PG 2024 exam, which has been embroiled in delays and controversies. Nineteen petitioners have challenged the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) over alleged transparency issues, irregularities in the examination process, and the release of results.
In a previous hearing on September 13, candidates raised concerns about a potential paper leak, discrepancies in score normalization, and the absence of answer keys, preventing them from verifying their performance. Senior Advocate Vibha Makhija, representing the petitioners, emphasized that the lack of clarity on the normalization process and missing answer keys has caused widespread confusion.
The Supreme Court responded by issuing a notice to NBEMS, highlighting the urgency of the matter. The next hearing, scheduled for September 20, 2024, is expected to address the candidates' demands for the release of answer keys and a fair resolution of the discrepancies.
Adding to the tension is the delay in the NEET PG 2024 counselling schedule, which was initially set to begin on September 20. Candidates remain in limbo as the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has not officially announced the start of Round 1 counselling. The MCC has, however, introduced a provision for aspirants to change their nationality status to Non-Resident Indian (NRI) until September 17 and obtain PwD certificates for counselling until September 25.
This ongoing dispute follows the August 9 dismissal of a petition seeking to postpone the exam due to issues with exam centre allocations. The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, reiterated that rescheduling the exam would disrupt the academic futures of over two lakh candidates.
As the Supreme Court reconvenes, NEET PG 2024 candidates await the outcome, hoping for a resolution that addresses their concerns regarding fairness and transparency in the examination process.
