NEET-UG 2024 Row LIVE Updates: The Supreme Court will hear a batch of pleas today, July 8, related to irregularities in the medical entrance exam NEET-UG 2024. The exam was held on May 5 with a re-exam for 1563 students who were awarded grace marks on June 23. The SC will now be hearing a batch of almost 40 pleas seeking direction to conduct a fresh exam. A three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra is scheduled to hear a total of 38 petitions related to the NEET UG 2024, reported PTI. The Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA), however, had filed affidavits against the demand for the cancellation of the exam stating that scrapping NEET UG 2024 exam held on May 5 would be “counterproductive” and “seriously jeopardise” several students in the absence of any proof of large-scale breach of confidentiality.

The revised test date for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for Postgraduate Courses (NEET PG) 2024 will be announced later this week. The official release dates have not yet been announced, however, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) is expected to release them in the coming week at natboard.edu.in, reported Indian Express. Less than 12 hours before the test was supposed to take place on June 22, the NBEMS postponed the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, Postgraduate (NEET PG). The exam could now take place sometime in August.

NEET UG 2024 re-exam: The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release the results of the NEET UG re-exam on June 30. The testing agency conducted a re-examination on June 23 for 1,563 candidates who were previously awarded grace marks in the NEET UG exam due to a 'loss of time' and was later scrapped by the honourable Supreme Court, giving candidates the choice to opt for a re-test or to retain the original scores excluding the grace marks.

Only 813 of the 1,563 candidates took the re-exam last Sunday. The remaining 48% of candidates opted for their original scores, excluding the grace marks.
