NEET-PG Hearing in Supreme Court Today, Will NBE Cancel and Revise NEET Results?

NEET -PG Hearing in Supreme Court: Supreme Court of India will today resume hearing of plea challenging decision of National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) to make last-minute changes to exam pattern of NEET -PG, just three days before exam date. plea also challenges NBE's refusal to release answer keys and candidates' response sheets for NEET-PG 2024 exam. A bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud will hear case today.

In last hearing of case on September 20, CJI expressed dissatisfaction with NBE's move to revise exam pattern three days before exam, causing stress to students. "y claim you haven't framed regulations; everything relies on brochure, and just three days before exam, entire pattern is changed—how can you do this?" CJI h questioned NBE's counsel. 

NEET -PG Marks Normalisation Method Also Challenged

“ normalisation procedure has completely altered ranks that students expected to obtain based on ir performance in examination and it has led to clumping of students at each decimal, which would not have happened in case of counting of actual marks. Thus, specialities will be exhausted on account of some superficial criteria prescribed by Respondents, which is not reflective of best candidates available.”

plea also states that exam was converted into a two-session examination with separate papers for each session which is against NBE's guidelines of having one common examination.

“re is a clear lack of transparency in conduct of examinations of NEET PG 2024 since none of documents which can allow a student to check his/her performance are supplied by Respondents i.e. neir (a) question paper, nor (b) Response sheet filled in by candidates, nor (c) Answer Key is supplied to students, and merely a score card has been provided along with a list of attempted correctly/attempted wrongly sections. students on perusal of scorecards have found discrepancies in total number of questions that y attempted which are found to be different than what is stated in scorecards issued to m. Thus, re is a basic flaw in conduct of examinations which goes to root of matter. However, re is no redressal of above, and an unfettered power has been vested in Respondents to conduct examinations, without necessary checks and balances.”
