The Supreme Court has intervened in the NEET-PG 2024 controversy, seeking a response from the National Board of Education (NBE) regarding the petition filed by medical aspirants. The petitioners have raised concerns over the lack of transparency and arbitrary changes in the examination process.
Senior Advocate Vibha Makhija, representing the petitioners, highlighted the NBE's failure to release question papers, answer keys, and response sheets, making it impossible for candidates to assess their performance accurately. The court expressed displeasure over the last-minute changes in the exam pattern, introduced just three days before the exam, terming it "very unusual" and potentially causing students to have a "meltdown."
Chief Justice DY Chandrachud sought a response from the NBE, questioning the rationale behind the changes. The petitioners have challenged the new marks normalisation method, introduced without prior notice, which allegedly altered the ranks of students.
The NEET-PG 2024 controversy has left thousands of medical aspirants in limbo, seeking fairness and transparency in the examination process.
