The ministry of education has sought a detailed report from the Economic Offences Unit of the Bihar Police regarding the alleged irregularities in the NEET(UG) examination-2024 held in Patna. The ministry reiterated its stance on taking strict action against any individual or organization found to be involved in the matter.
The Supreme Court also instructed the Centre and NTA to thoroughly investigate and deal with any negligence in the conduct of the NEET-UG, 2024 exam. Several petitions have been filed in the apex court, seeking a recall of the NEET-UG 2024 results and a fresh examination due to allegations of paper leakage, malpractices, and anomalies in the question paper.
