Supreme Court seeks NBE's response over lack of transparency and arbitrary changes

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. The petitioners have alleged lack of transparency in the examination process, arbitrary changes in exam patterns and technical glitches in scorecards and ranking.

The NBE's actions have sparked widespread protests and demands for a re-exam. The court's intervention has brought hope to the aspirants, who are seeking justice and clarity on the examination process. The Supreme Court's decision to seek a response from the NBE is a significant development in the case. The court's observations highlight the need for transparency and fairness in competitive examinations.

The next hearing is scheduled, and the outcome will be crucial for the future of medical aspirants. The court's verdict will determine whether the NBE's actions are justified or if the petitioners' concerns are valid. The NEET-PG controversy has once again highlighted the need for reform in competitive examinations. The case has sparked a nationwide debate on the importance of transparency and fairness in education.
