The Supreme Court on Tuesday said there was not enough evidence to prove a systemic paper leak, hence there is no need for retest. The top court said it realises that directing a fresh NEET-UG for the present year would be replete with serious consequences which will be for over 24 lakh students who appeared in this exam.
The experts panel clearly opined there was only one correct option which is option four; NTA was correct: SC on NEET-UG physics question.
IIT Delhi has informed SC that its experts in physics opined that only one of the options - "atoms are electrically neutral as they contain equal number of positive and negative charges" - to a question is correct i.e. option no. 4.
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said, "So NTA was correct in its answer key that option 4 was correct".
On Monday, the SC had sought committee’s opinion on the correct answer of a question in the NEET-UG exam. Some students challenged the decision of the NTA to award marks for two options for the question.
