Proposal for Re-exam Presented in Court
The central government had proposed a re-exam in court. Petitioners had objected to the grace marks given to 1563 candidates in the NEET exam. NTA had formed a committee to investigate the matter, which held meetings on June 10, 11, and 12.
The committee recommended that the scorecards of the 1563 candidates who received grace marks should be annulled, and they should be made to take the exam again. These students should also be informed of their original scores without the grace marks.
