The NEET UG 2024 Results Controversy: AISA Demands a Re-Exam and Stages Protests at NTA Headquarters

Parents, aspirants, and AISA Delhi State Secretary Neha submitted a memorandum listing demands made by the children.

Following the June 4 announcement of the NEET 2024 results, numerous concerns about paper leaks and anomalies have been brought forward. As NEET candidates protested outside the NTA offices on Tuesday, AISA joined them in voicing their displeasure with the exam’s design and outcomes. They insisted on the NEET exam being retaken and the results being discarded. They also restated their insistence that NTA not be awarded any more tenders conducting examinations.

Parents, aspirants, and AISA Delhi State Secretary Neha submitted a memorandum containing the demands made by the aspirants. After much outcry, an official finally met with the students and accepted the memorandum, although the NTA director had initially refused to meet with the parents and candidates.

Neha, the AISA Delhi State Secretary, stated, “Director of Examination, Vijay Kumar, met with us and acknowledged all the faults highlighted in our memorandum, including the faulty ‘grace marks’, the paper leak in Patna, and the discrepancies in marking, but he informed us that he has no power over the issue.”

The composition of this ‘independent committee’ was not disclosed to us, despite the fact that we were told one is being established to investigate the matter of grace marks. Neha continued, “We want to know how long the NTA and its parent organization, the Ministry of Education, intend to shirk any accountability and play with the lives of aspirants.

Notably, the National Testing Agency (NTA) was notified by the Supreme Court on Tuesday over discrepancies in the NEET-UG results for 2024. Notice was sent to NTA by a bench consisting of Justice Vikram Nath and Ahsanuddin Amanullah, who stated that “sanctity has been affected, so we need answers.”

The matter has been scheduled for a follow-up hearing by the bench on July 8 following holidays. In this case, the top court also mandated that other petitions be tagged. The court, however, denies the request to postpone counseling.
