NEW DELHI: The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2024 counselling has been deferred until further notice, including the all-India quota (AIQ) seat counselling that was set to commence today.
In anticipation of the Supreme Court‘s important hearing on the NEET-UG controversy, scheduled three days from now, the Centre and National Testing Agency (NTA) acknowledged the allegations of irregularities and paper leak during the examination.However, they have informed the court that cancelling the test is unnecessary, as only a “miniscule” number of students were involved, and the interests of the 23 lakh students who took the examination honestly should not be compromised.
The Centre and NTA, in separate affidavits submitted to the apex court, agreed that the impact of irregularities, cheating, impersonation, malpractices, and paper leak was limited and restricted to a few centres in Patna and Godhra, and that the students involved did not gain the advantage they were seeking.
