NEET 2024 Grace Marks Controversy
The Government of India last Thursday informed the Supreme Court that the NTA will scarp the grace marks given to 1,563 NEET-UG 2024 candidates. Not only this, the Centre also informed that NTA will take a re-exam of 1,563 NEET-UG 2024 candidates who were given grace marks. Notably, thousands of students in India along with multiple well-renowned teachers had flagged NEET Results 2024 as fraud. Some well-renowned YouTubers & teachers pointed out mistakes in the marking system as no one can score 718 or 719 out of 720 in NEET exams, and the rest pointed out how NEET 2024 secured 67 toppers. The increase in toppers sent fear among students that despite scoring well they may not get AIIMS.
Alakh Pandey, petitioner and CEO of Physics Wallah was quoted saying, "Today, NTA accepted in front of the Supreme Court that the grace marks given to the students were wrong and they agree that this created dissatisfaction among the students and they agreed that they will remove the grace marks...Re-examination of those 1,563 students who got grace marks will be done on 23rd June or the original score without grace marks would be accepted by the students.
