The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Thursday told Supreme Court that it proposes to cancel the scorecards and will conduct re-exam of 1,563 students who were awarded grace marks. 

The top court is hearing pleas seeking for a fresh NEET-UG exam amid allegations of paper leak after several students shared the first rank when the results were declared on June 4. Among the three petitions, one has also been filed by chief executive of EdTech firm ‘Physics Wallah’, pertaining to the controversy-ridden NEET-UG, 2024 for admission to MBBS, BDS and others courses.

The Supreme Court has taken into record the statement of NTA that a re-test of 1563 students will be notified today itself and it would likely be held on June 23 and results would be declared prior to June 30 so that counselling which is set to begin in July is not affected.
