A group of NEET-PG 2024 aspirants has filed a review petition in the Supreme Court, raising several critical concerns regarding the examination process. The petition mentioned issues such as the need for greater transparency, the normalisation of marks across different batches, and the overall validity of the exam results. As per the details, the aspirants have also urged the top court to direct the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), the body responsible for conducting the exam, to release the official answer key and response sheet.

“Pass any other such further or other writ, order or directions as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the present case,” the plea added. This move is aimed at ensuring fairness and accuracy in the final results, as students seek assurances that the evaluation process is conducted with the highest standards of accountability and integrity.
