NEET Result 2024 Sparks Outcry: Political Leaders Demand Inquiry into Alleged Irregularities
Several leaders including Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi expressed apprehension about the conduct of the medical entrance exam. In response to the ongoing controversy surrounding the NEET UG 2024 results, Singh said, “Our committee met and they perused all the details of the centres and the CCTVs… They found out that at some centres the time was lost and the students should be compensated for that… The committee thought they could address the grievances and compensate the students. So the marks of some students were increased. Due to that, the concerns of some students have surfaced because certain candidates got 718 and 719 marks and 6 candidates became toppers… We have analysed all things carefully and released the results. Out of 4750 centres, this problem was limited to 6 centres. And out of 24 lakh students, only 1600 students faced the issue,” ANI reported.
Chief Minister MK Stalin urged all the state governments to come forward to eradicate NEET exam “discrepancies” and raise their voices against “injustice”. While criticising the conduct of entrance exams, he reiterated that NEET and other entrance examinations are anti-poor. They undermine federal polity and impact the availability of doctors in deserving areas.
Sharing a post on X, Stalin wrote, “The news coming out about the recent NEET results confirms that our policy stance against the exam is justified. Confusions like question paper leaks, students getting aggregate marks from specific centers, awarding impracticable marks in the guise of grace marks highlight the shortcomings of the current Union government’s devolution. These indicate the need for state governments and the school system to regain primacy in determining the admissions process for vocational courses. Once again we emphatically say: NEET and other national entrance exams are biased against poor students. They undermine federalism. are against social justice. affect availability of doctors where needed. #NEET Let’s take action to destroy the trap! The day to get rid of stretch marks is not far away!.”
