Edtech startup PhysicsWallah cofounder and CEO Alakh Pandey has filed a public interest litigation (PIL) before the Supreme Court seeking a probe into allegations of discrepancies in pan-India medical entrance test, NEET-UG 2024
Pandey has sought a probe into the matter by an independent panel. At the heart of the issue is the grace marks awarded by the National Testing Agency (NTA) to more than 1,500 students and allegations of paper leak.
Citing a statement by the edtech startup, the report said that only a thorough investigation can reveal the issues and "irregularities undermining the credibility" of the medical entrance test. He also urged the SC to order a re-examination of this year's medical test.
In a separate petition filed before the Supreme Court in connection with alleged irregularities in NEET 2024, a vacation bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah issued a notice to NTA but refused to stop the post-exam counselling for the exam.
