Union Education Ministry has sought a detailed report from the Economic Offences Unit of Bihar Police over the alleged irregularities in the conduct of the NEET (UG) examination 2024 in Patna. In a statement, the Ministry said that the issue related to grace marks has already been fully addressed in the matter pertaining to the NEET (UG) 2024. It further reiterated that any individual/organization found to be involved in irregularities in the exam will face the strictest action.
Earlier this month, the National Testing Agency (NTA) told the Supreme Court that the scorecards of 1,563 NEET-UG 2024 candidates who got grace marks to compensate for the loss of time suffered while appearing for the exam will be cancelled and the students will have a chance to reappear for the exam.
