A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking suspension of the ongoing NEET-PG 2024 counselling, citing lack of transparency in the examination process. The plea argues that the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is conducting counselling hastily, potentially undermining the rights of petitioners, despite the court scheduling the matter for hearing on November 19.
The petition challenges the NEET-PG 2024 examination process, highlighting issues such as:
The introduction of two shifts and a normalization method, alongside changes to the tie-breaker criteria, just days before the exam.
A lack of transparency due to the National Board of Examinations (NBE) not providing question papers, answer keys, or candidates' response sheets. Only scorecards were issued, which did not include details of correct or incorrect attempts, unlike previous years.
The plea, filed by advocate Parul Shukla, claims that these changes are arbitrary and violate principles of transparency and fairness under Article 14 of the Constitution. It contends that NEET-PG has traditionally been a single-shift examination to ensure uniformity and fairness, and the deviation this year has created inconsistencies.
The petition further emphasizes that rank discrepancies can significantly impact candidates’ ability to choose their desired specializations, undermining the fairness and credibility of the examination. It seeks redressal to establish a transparent and equitable system, arguing that the current process risks compromising the integrity of a national-level examination. https://english.gujaratsamachar.com/news/national/plea-supreme-court-seeks-suspension-of-ongoing-neet-pg-counselling
