Yesterday, the Centre submitted to the Supreme Court that the scorecards of 1,563 candidates granted compensatory marks in the undergraduate medical entrance examination will stand cancelled and a re-examination is to be conducted for these students.
This happened while the court was hearing petitions challenging the award of the grace marks to the 1,563 candidates to compensate for “loss of time”.
This year, a number of irregularities have come forward in the NEET-UG results, raising concerns among aspirants and parents.
