The National Testing Agency (NTA) stated that the incorrect distribution of question papers at an examination center in Rajasthan resulted in some candidates leaving the center with the papers during the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) exam held on May 5, emphasizing that the agency later conducted the exam for 120 affected students at the center.
The organization held the country's largest medical entrance exam, NEET 2024, across the country on May 5. This year, a record 23 lakh students applied for NEET UG, with over 10 lakh male students, over 13 lakh female students, and 24 students from the third gender category.
The agency stated on May 5 that faulty question papers were distributed to an examination center in Rajasthan's Sawai Madhopur district.
“During the NEEt-UG examination, it came to attention that at one exam center, Girls Higher Secondary Model School, Mantown, Sawai Madhopur, there was an incident of incorrect distribution of question papers by the Centre Superintendent. Despite efforts by invigilators to prevent it, some candidates left the exam center with question papers,” Sadhna Parashar, Senior Director, NTA said in a statement.
“To uphold the principles of fairness and equal opportunity for all candidates, the NTA has taken proactive measures. The examination of approximately 120 affected candidates at the center is being conducted today, ensuring that their academic aspirations are not hindered by this incident,” she said.
The agency described it as a "isolated incident" and emphasized that it did not jeopardize the integrity of the examination procedure at other sites.
“To uphold the principles of fairness and equal opportunity for all candidates, the NTA has taken proactive measures. The NTA reaffirms its commitment to conducting examinations with transparency, integrity, and fairness,” it said.
