New Delhi – The Centre has announced the cancellation of the scorecards for 1,563 candidates who received grace marks in the NEET-UG 2024 examination. This decision was disclosed to the Supreme Court by the Centre, emphasizing that the affected candidates will be provided with the opportunity to retake the exam.
The NEET-UG, or National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate courses, is a highly competitive examination that serves as the gateway for medical and dental courses across India. This year’s controversy arose when it was revealed that grace marks had been awarded to these candidates, leading to questions about the integrity and fairness of the examination process.
The Supreme Court has been closely monitoring the situation, prompting the Centre to take this decisive action. By cancelling the scorecards and offering a retest, the Centre aims to ensure that the examination maintains its rigorous standards and that all candidates have a fair and equal opportunity to compete.
This move has significant implications for the affected candidates, who will now have to prepare for the examination once again. However, it also reinforces the commitment of the authorities to uphold the credibility of the NEET-UG examination process.
Further details regarding the scheduling of the retest and the specific procedures candidates need to follow are expected to be announced shortly. Candidates are advised to stay informed through official channels for updates.
The cancellation and the subsequent offer of a retest underline the importance of maintaining high standards in the country’s premier medical entrance examination, ensuring that only the most deserving candidates secure their places in medical and dental colleges.
