  • NEET-UG Result 2024 Indicates Massive Centre Level Irregularities? 12th Failed Student Scored Stunning Marks |

    The National Testing Agency (NTA) has uploaded the NEET-UG result on its website. While the NTA has refused to re-conduct the exam which has been marred by controversies, a close look at the result indicates more mismanagement as exams may have been compromised at the centre levels. Earlier, a centre in Gujarat’s Godhra was supposed to be compromised but the results indicate that it may have happened at a broader level in many states. 

    The results show multiple students from single exam centres scoring more thatn 700 marks out of 720. The toppers forming clusters or coming from common exam centres have raised questions on the sanctity of the exam. The results released by the National Testing Agency on Saturday reveal that centres located in major coaching hubs performed exceptionally well. In contrast, centres under scrutiny for ‘paper leaks’ and other irregularities showed poor results. Over 2,000 candidates from centres in Sikar achieved scores exceeding 650 out of 720, and Kottayam, much like Kota, also had a significant number of high-scoring students.

    What is interesting is that of the 50 NEET-UG exam centres having the highest percentage of candidates scoring above 650 marks, 37 centres are located in Rajasthan’s Sikar alone. 

    In a very surprising result, more than 20% of candidates from the Tagore PG College exam centre scored 600 marks or more. Those scoring 650+ are likely to get a government college. Of the 734 students who took the exam at Rohtak’s Model School Centre, one scored 700, 14 scored 650 or more and 30 students scored between 600-649.

    Kottayam has ranked third in the country for top rank holders after Sikar and Kota in Rajasthan. Sikar gave 55 top rankers this time, Kota 35 and Kottayam 25. Kottayam’s Vidyananda Vidyabhavan, Junior Baselios English Medium School, and Chinmaya Vidyalaya exam centres have five aspirants with 700 and above marks and 29 who scored 650 and above.

    Gujarat’s Unit-1 School of Engineering has surprised with 250 students out of the 1,968 scoring 600 and more and 12 students scoring 700 and more while one scored a perfect 720.

    In another shocking detail, a netizen pointed out that a student scored 705 out of 720 in the NEET UG 2024 exam. However, the most surprising fact is that this student from Gujarat scored only 352 out of 700 marks in the Class 12 Science board exam conducted by the Gujarat Board (GSHSEB) and had failed in several exams.

  • NTA NEET UG Results: Congress Demands SC-Monitored Probe Into 2024 Exam ‘Irregularities’ |

    NEET UG 2024 Exam Result: The Congress on Friday accused the BJP of cheating young people and tampering with their futures on Friday, demanding a high-level investigation into “irregularities” in NEET for medical courses conducted under the supervision of the Supreme Court. Paper leaks, test-rigging, and corruption, according to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, have become commonplace in many exams, including the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).

    “Paper leaks, rigging and corruption have become an integral part of many examinations including NEET. The Modi government is directly responsible for this. For the candidates, appearing in the recruitment exams, then facing several irregularities, getting caught in the labyrinth of paper leaks, is playing with their future. BJP has cheated the youth of the country. We demand that a high-level investigation should be conducted under the supervision of the Supreme Court so that our talented students appearing in NEET and other exams get justice.,” he wrote in a Hindi post on X.

    A record 67 candidates, including six from the same exam centre, received the top rank in the NEET medical entrance exam due to alleged mark inflation, according to several applicants. The NCERT textbook modifications and the provision of grace marks for tardiness at the testing centre, according to the National Testing Agency (NTA), account for some of the students’ higher scores. The NTA, however, refuted any irregularities. Six of the 67 students who shared rank one came from the same Haryana examination centre, according to the results released by NTA on Wednesday night.

    Earlier, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticised the Modi government on Friday for what she described as anomalies in the NEET medical entrance exam and demanded that students’ “legitimate complaints” be looked into. The Congress party claimed irregularities have affected the future of around 24 lakh children. It said that the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the government should answer and also ensure accountability.

    NTA Issues Clarification Over Alleged Irregularities In NEET 2024 Results 

    The NTA provided a detailed explanation of the reason for the mark inflation, said that it had received complaints about time lost during the exam. “The normalisation formula, which was developed and approved by the Supreme Court in its Judgement dated June 13, 2018, was put into effect to address the time loss experienced by the NEET (UG) 2024 candidates after NTA took into consideration the cases and representations mentioned.

    “It was determined how much exam time was lost, and such candidates received grace marks in exchange. Therefore, the marks may also be 718 or 719,” the statement read. Speaking to news agency PTI, a senior NTA said that the question paper was created using a new NCERT textbook in response to questions regarding the claims of unclear grace mark implementation.”

    The entrance exam was held on May 5 at 4,750 locations in 571 cities, including 14 abroad. The NTA claimed on May 5 that the distribution of incorrect question papers at an exam centre in Rajasthan resulted in some candidates walking out with the papers. The agency denied any leaks of the question paper.

    A day later, the NTA reiterated that reports of question paper leaks in the medical entrance exam NEET-UG are “completely baseless and without any ground” and that every question paper has been accounted for.
