Brief Information On NEET-UG Test Controversy
On May 5th, the national Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate (NEET-UG) was held at 4,750 exam centres. This examination witnessed the participation of 24 lakh students.
Even though, the results were supposed to be released on June 14. But citing early completion of evaluation process, NTA announced the results earlier on June 4.
But the controversy started, when 67 students (6 from Haryana centre) received a perfect & precise score 720/720.
Thus, implying the presence of discrepancies in the results. Later, it was alleged, that provision of grace marks aided many students in getting the top rank.
However, after many protests and controversy, NTA eventually held retest, following the removal of grace marks given to students. These marks were provided on the basis of delay in starting the exam at centres of Meghalaya, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, and Chandigarh.
