Significantly Lower Syllabus Scores for NEET-UG 24; It’s Inaccurate To Assume Top Scorers Come From Specific Centers: NTA To Supreme Court
Last Updated on July 6, 2024 by News Desk
In the NEET-UG 2024 case, what are the main claims made by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in their affidavit?
- Rejecting claims that top exam results are concentrated in certain exam locations, the NTA called the claims “unsubstantiated,” supporting its denial with data from 95 exam sites spread across 56 cities.
What effect did the shortened syllabus have on students’ NEET-UG 2024 performance?
- According to the NTA, a sizable proportion of applicants received full marks (720/720), which they attributed to a condensed course meant to simplify pandemic-related study difficulties and concentrate on fundamental ideas.
What elements of NEET-UG 2024 led to a rise in applicants and higher percentiles?
- The NTA’s comparison research indicates that the number of applicants increased to 23,33,297 from 20,38,596 the previous year, impacting higher percentiles.
For what reason did the NTA support the usage of widely used books when creating the NEET-UG 2024 exam questions?
- Although the material was condensed, the goal was to lessen reliance on coaching centers while still upholding the fairness and integrity of the test.
Positive question for readers:
- In what ways may the NTA’s actions, including reducing the curriculum and distributing centers widely, encourage equity and inclusion in upcoming NEET-UG exams?
Critical question for readers:
- What measures have to be taken to resolve the issues with the validity of exams and possible malpractices brought up in current legal cases?
The Union Government’s resistance to test cancellation and the NTA’s affidavit highlight the divisive topics surrounding NEET-UG 2024. The results are still unaltered awaiting more hearings, even though the Supreme Court has given notice on petitions challenging the conduct of the exam.
