The National Testing Agency (NTA) has been directed by the Supreme Court to publish the NEET-UG 24 test results on its website city-wise and centre-wise by 12 pm on Saturday without&nbsp;disclosing the candidates' names.&nbsp;On Thursday (July 18), the Supreme Court of India began hearing several petitions concerning the NEET-UG 2024 exam row. The petitions were considered on Thursday by a three-judge bench comprising CJI D Y Chandrachud, Justices J B Pardiwala, and Manoj Misra. 
 
As proceedings began, CJI asked the attorney for the cancellation of the exam to prove if the leak was systemic. He said, "You have to show us that the leak was so systemic and affected the entire examination to warrant the cancellation of the entire exam."

The judges heard over 40 petitions, including pleas filed by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and several students who appeared for the examination. The NTA seeks a transfer of all the cases against it pending in many High Courts regarding the NEET-UG controversy, PTI reported. 
 
During the hearing, senior advocate Narendra Hooda, representing the petitioner, called for the results of all students to be declared to bring in some transparency. 
 
The NEET-UG exam was held on May 5 and nearly 24 lakh aspiring medical professionals had appeared in it.

The results were published last month but students could only access their individual scores.

A reevaluation and reversal of the decision are also sought, considering the alleged paper leak and other irregularities.

The court hearing also addressed the issue of 61 students scoring a perfect 720 out of 720 marks in the examination, even after the scores were adjusted.

The discussion centred on the physics question, alleging that it had two correct answers. The NTA counsel explained that 44 out of these 61 students received marks based on an additional answer found in an older NCERT booklet.

The CJI D Y Chandrachud said, "As the matter stands now, 61 students get 720/720, out of whom 44 are students who got extra marks for the two correct options for a question. So the number really is 17."&nbsp;

NEET-UG 2024: SC says exam not cancelled, yet; asks NTA to publish results city-wise and centre-wise

In an affidavit submitted to the Indian Supreme Court on Wednesday (July 10), the central government stated that there was no "mass malpractice" in the 2024 NEET-UG examination.

In an affidavit submitted to the Indian Supreme Court on Wednesday (July 10), the central government stated that there was no "mass malpractice" in the 2024 NEET-UG examination. The Centre claims that an analysis of the data carried out by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras shows no proof of widespread misconduct or any kind of unfair advantage for a certain set of candidates, which may lead to unusual scores. Counselling will begin in four rounds in the third week of July, the government said. It added that any applicant who is discovered to have benefitted from malpractice will have their candidacy terminated at any time during or after the counselling process. #BREAKING Centre files affidavit in the #SupremeCourt denying any "mass malpractice" in the NEET-UG 24 exam. Centre says the data anayltics done by experts at IIT Madras showed no abnormality in the exam.#NEETUG24 #SupremeCourt pic.twitter.com/y6fpXG52Ls — Live Law (@LiveLawIndia) July 10, 2024 × "The marks distribution follows the bell-shaped curve that is witnessed in any large-scale examination indicating no abnormality," the IIT Madras report said. "City-wise and center-wise analysis was done for 2 years (2023 and 2024) to find out if there are any abnormal indications. The Analysis is carried out for the Top 1.4 lakh ranks given that the total number of seats across the country is around 1.1 lakhs," it added. "The analysis shows that there is neither any indication of mass malpractice nor a localised set of candidates being benefitted leading to abnormal scores," the report said.

This increase is seen across the cities and centres. This is attributed to a 25% reduction in syllabus. In addition, candidates obtaining such high marks are spread across multiple cities and multiple centres, indicating very less likelihood of malpractice," it further added. On Monday (Jul 8), the Supreme Court reviewed multiple petitions concerning the contentious NEET-UG 2024 medical entrance exam. The petitions included allegations of paper leakage and other malpractices during the May 5 test, with calls for the exam to be conducted anew. The apex court had requested reports from the NTA and the Centre detailing the steps taken as well as any potential ideas on using data analytics in the cyber forensics unit or any other government-employed unit to find suspect cases.
