The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is gearing up to start the NEET UG Counselling 2024. As per the latest information, the counselling process will be held in four rounds, beginning in the third week of July. The Supreme Court of India’s hearing, initially set for July 11, 2024, has been rescheduled to July 18, 2024. The SC bench noted that certain parties had not yet received the affidavits submitted by the Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA). The court emphasized the importance of these parties reviewing the responses thoroughly before moving forward with the arguments.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) and the Indian government submitted an affidavit to the Supreme Court, arguing against cancelling the NEET 2024 exam, as it would undermine diligent students’ efforts. They noted that the revised syllabus led to more top scorers. IIT Madras analyzed the NEET 2024 paper leak and found no widespread malpractice, with the marks distribution following a standard bell curve typical for large-scale exams like NEET.
