NEET PG 2024- The Supreme Court of India is set to resume its hearing on the NEET PG 2024 case today, October 25. Amid growing concerns from aspirants regarding the transparency of the examination process and the counselling schedule. This follows a previous notice issued by the court demanding a response from the National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS).
Candidates have raised alarms about the lack of clarity surrounding the exam, particularly in light of last-minute changes to the exam pattern, which they argue could have impacted their performance. A group of 19 students has formally petitioned the court, asserting that the NBEMS’s decision not to release question papers, answer keys, or raw scores undermines the integrity of the results.
Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, along with Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, will address these petitions today. During earlier proceedings, the court expressed dissatisfaction with the absence of a representative from the Centre and emphasized the need for prompt clarity regarding the counselling process.
Aspirants are anxiously awaiting the release of the NEET PG counselling schedule, which encompasses All India Quota (AIQ) Round 1, AIQ Round 2, Mop-up Round, and Stray Vacancy Round. The delay has caused significant anxiety among over 10 lakh candidates, with many doctors urging Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to expedite the process. Candidates fear that prolonged uncertainty could disrupt the academic calendar.
In response to the ongoing situation, several aspirants have taken to social media, emphasizing the importance of normalisation and transparency in the examination process. They assert that the release of the answer key is crucial for verifying results and ensuring fairness.
