NEET 2021: Details

The Bombay High Court directed the National Testing Agency (NTA) to conduct the NEET exam afresh for two students recently. It was being told as candidates were handed question papers and answer sheets with incorrect serial numbers. Candidates must know that there is a seven digit number mentioned on question paper as well as answer sheet. The codes in these cases were different.

Advocate Pooja Thorat, appearing for the petitioners said that though the petitioners immediately pointed out the mix-up, the invigilators threatened to report them for "causing a disturbance in the examination hall and committing unfair practice."

Advocate Rui Rodrigues, who appeared on behalf of NTA said it was "not possible" to allow the petitioners to reappear for the exam. On it, the judges said that the petitioners shall not suffer because of the mistake on the part of respondents. In a recent move, Bombay HC bench directed National Testing Agency to conduct a "fresh examination for the two petitioners for the academic year 2021-22". the bench also said that the results should be out within two weeks.
