SC Directs IIT Delhi To Form Expert Panel On NEET-UG Physics Question Controversy

The Supreme Court today asked IIT Delhi to form an expert panel to give its opinion on the decision of the National Testing Agency (NTA) to treat two options as the correct answers to a Physics question in the NEET-UG examination.

A bench, headed by CJI D.Y. Chandrachud, said the expert team to remit its opinion to the Apex Court’s registrar by 12 noon tomorrow.

In the batch of petitions alleging irregularities in the conduct of the NEET-UG exam, petitioners questioned the award of grace marks in respect of a contentious Physics question, adding that as many as 44 candidates were able to secure full marks on account of the ambiguous question.

They contended that the NTA’s decision to award compensatory marks contradicts its own instruction asking students to follow the latest NCERT textbook. The matter will be taken up for further hearing tomorrow.
