During the hearing on July 18, a three-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, along with Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, issued an order directing the NTA to publish the results of the NEET UG 24 exam on their website, “city-wise and center-wise masking the identity of the candidates.”
The next hearing is scheduled for July 22.
The court also questioned the NTA's hypothesis that the paper was leaked, solved, and memorized by candidates in 45 minutes.
During the Supreme Court hearing, the petitioner's lawyer claimed that the exam syllabus had been expanded and that the changes had only been announced a few months prior. He further stated that the transportation of the question papers was compromised at Hazaribagh.
Chandrachud asked the petitioners to show that the leak was so systemic and affected the entire examination so as to warrant the cancellation of the entire exam.
"Re-examination has to be on concrete footing that the sanctity of the entire test was affected," the CJI said.
Earlier, the SC, while hearing 38 petitions as well as a separate petition filed by over 50 successful Gujarat-based candidates seeking a restraining order against the Centre and the NTA from canceling the disputed exam, confirmed a paper leak in the NEET UG 2024 examination but said that cancellation of the exam is an extreme last resort.
The SC ordered the NTA to fully reveal three aspects: the nature of the leak, the locations where it occurred, and the time between the leak and the exam.
"It is an admitted fact that there is a leak. The nature of the leak is what we are considering. The leak cannot be disputed. The consequences of it are what we are considering. The fact that the integrity of the examination is compromised is beyond doubt. What needs to be seen is only the extent," Justice Chandrachud said.
As per the order of the SC, a data analysis was performed by the specialists of IIT Madras of the NEET-UG 2024 data.
According to the government's affidavit, the data analysis discovered no evidence of widespread misconduct or the benefiting of a specific group of students, which resulted in unusual scores.
The information showed that student scores have generally increased, especially in the 550–720 range, and this increase has been observed in all cities and centers.
According to the government, the increase in scores is the result of a 25% reduction in the syllabus, and the fact that high scorers were dispersed suggests that there is very little chance of widespread misconduct.
The affidavit further stated that every large-scale examination observes a bell-shaped curve in the distribution of marks, demonstrating that there was no anomaly.
Furthermore, the government has said that NEET UG 2024 counseling will begin in the third week of July and will be conducted in four rounds. However, if students are found to have been involved in unfair means or malpractice earlier, their enrollment will be canceled during or after the counseling process.
As per the rule, 15% of all India quota seats at various central universities, government institutions, deemed universities, and even seats set aside for wards of insured individuals (IP quota) at ESIC medical colleges and Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) in Pune would be available for NEET UG counseling.
Recently, four students, Karan Jain, Kumar Sanu, Rahul Anand, and Chandan Singh, of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Patna, have been arrested from the campus amid an ongoing investigation by the CBI. These students are suspected of being members of the solver gang who solved the NEET UG 2024 paper.
The NEET-UG 2024 examination was held on May 5 by the NTA across hundreds of centers in India for admissions to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, and other related courses in government and private institutions. The results were released unexpectedly soon on June 4, ten days ahead of schedule, with 67 toppers this year.
The government and the NTA on June 13 told the court that they had canceled the grace marks awarded to 1,563 candidates.
They were given the option to either take a re-test or forgo the compensatory marks awarded for loss of time. The NTA announced the revised rank list on July 1 after issuing the results of the re-test held on June 23.
