The Supreme Court will pronounce its detailed verdict on NEET UG 2024 row today.
The Supreme Court of India on Friday will pronounce its detailed judgment on the ongoing controversy about the NEET-UG 2024 examination. On July 23, the top court rejected the plea to re-conduct the medical entrance exam following the grace marks issue. Hence, it will give reasons behind the same today.
During the previous hearing, CJI DY Chandrachud observed that a fresh exam would have “serious consequences” because it would affect more than 24 lakh students who appeared for the NEET UG test this year. “It would disrupt the admission schedule and the counselling process,” the CJI said.

5) The CBI registered six FIRs after taking over the paper leak case in late June. The FIR from Bihar relates to the paper leak, while the others from Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra involve impersonation of candidates and cheating. Additionally, the agency filed an FIR based on a reference from the Union Education Ministry, calling for a "comprehensive investigation" into the alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG 2024 exam.
6) On June 23, 1,563 candidates who faced a time loss during the original test were reexamined. More recently, the Supreme Court had declined calls for a mass re-test of the controversy-ridden exam. The apex court noted no evidence to conclude that the entire result of NEET-UG 2024 was vitiated.
