NEET-UG 2024 | Giving Two Correct Options For One Question Didn't Affect Exam : NTA To Supreme Court
Live LawThe National Testing Agency recently refuted the allegation that a physics question in NEET-UG 2024 has adversely impacted the candidates because it had two correct options. The NTA refuted the challenge to the NEET-UG 2024 exam on this ground as “untenable.” To support its arguments, the testing agency has cited one of the instructions in the information bulletin: “If more than one option is found to be correct then Four marks will be awarded to only those who have marked any of the correct options." It may be mentioned that among the pleas filed before the Top Court in NEET UG 2024 controversy, one of them alleged that one of the questions was "ambiguous" as it had two correct options. “The plea/excuse claimed by the candidate that the question was not attempted as there was more than one correct option does not merit any consideration, in the light of the clear stipulation published in advance and consistently applied in previous examinations also.” Elaborating, it said that after NTA opened a window to challenge provisional Answer Keys, it received 13,373 challenges to an answer of one of the questions in physics.
