More than 24 lakh students participated in the NEET-UG 2024 examination which was held at 4,750 different Centres located in 571 cities throughout the country on May 5, 2024, between 2 pm and 5.20 pm. It also included 14 cities outside India.
In an official release, the NTA, said, "The National Testing Agency conducted the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (UG) for more than 24 lakh candidates at 4750 different Centres located in 571 Cities throughout the country including 14 Cities outside India on 05 May 2024 (Sunday) from 02:00 P.M. to 05:20 P.M.(IST).
Also, the re-examination of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate) [NEET (UG)] - 2024 was conducted on June 23, 2024, for 1563 candidates who had experienced time loss during the originally scheduled examination on May 5, 2024.
The re-revised results came after the Supreme Court on July 23 refused to cancel the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Under Graduate (NEET-UG) 2024 examination held on May 5, holding that there was no systemic breach in the exam.
A bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said that at the present stage, there is an absence of material on record to lead to the conclusion that the result of the exam is vitiated or that there is any systematic breach.
It said the data on record is not indicative of a systemic leak of the NEET-UG question paper, which would indicate a disruption of the sanctity of the exam.
However, it acknowledged the fact that the leak of the NEET-UG paper took place at Hazaribagh and Patna and said that it is "not in dispute".
The apex court also said the report submitted by the government shows probe is on and the central agency indicates that material shows 155 students drawn from the exam centres at Hazaribagh and Patna appeared to be the beneficiaries of the fraud.
"The probe by the CBI, however, has not attained finality," it added.
The bench also said that directing a fresh NEET-UG exam for the present year would be replete with serious consequences for over 23 lakh students who appeared in this exam.
"Ordering a re-exam will lead to disruption of the academic schedule, causing a cascading effect in the coming years," the bench stated in its order.
The bench also said there is an urgent need to provide certainty and finality to the dispute which has occurred and affected the careers of over 2 million students.
