The Supreme Court will hear a petition filed by 19 NEET PG 2024 aspirants today, September 13, regarding concerns over the transparency of results and the normalisation process.

The petition, led by Ishika Jain, Kiran Kumar Patil, Tanmoy Deshmukh, and 16 others, was filed on September 7 under diary number 41088/2024. Advocate Parul Shukla will represent the petitioners.

Background of the Controversy

The NEET PG 2024 results, released by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) on August 23, sparked concerns among students due to unexpectedly low ranks. Some candidates, after comparing their scores with unofficial answer keys, raised doubts about discrepancies in the ranking process. On September 4, aspirants submitted a formal request to NBEMS, urging them to release the official answer key and establish a grievance portal.

The petitioners raise concerns about:

- Lack of transparency in results

- Discrepancies in ranking process

- Normalisation process

They demand:

- Access to individual response sheets, showing their answers to each NEET PG 2024 question

- Disclosure of raw, pre-normalized, and normalized scores

- Publishing of question papers and answer keys for both exam shifts

- Hold on NEET PG 2024 counselling process until their grievances are addressed and resolved

- Revaluation option for affected students

- Greater transparency in future exams, including the provision of question papers, answer keys, and revaluation options for fairness

Next Steps

The Supreme Court hearing will take place today, September 13. The petitioners request any other relief or directions the court may find suitable given the situation.
