Resolve the NTA-NEET controversy
Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir,
The NEET 2024 results have stirred controversy and skepticism due to cheating allegations, suspected question paper leaks, and the NTA’s decision to grant grace marks for time loss during the exam.
Concerns focus on the NTA’s normalization formula following reports of time loss, leading to unusually high scores and questioning the fairness of competition. Additionally, a cheating scandal involves individuals allegedly paying for passing marks, casting doubt on result authenticity and revealing corruption within the system.
An unusual pattern emerged in Haryana where students from the same center achieved identical marks and percentiles, raising suspicions of collusion or protocol breaches. Urgent transparency from the NTA is necessary to address concerns and restore confidence in the NEET exam’s integrity.
Stringent measures are needed to protect the examination system’s sanctity and ensure fairness for aspiring medical students.
