The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is one of the most important exams for medical aspirants in India, however, a recent incident in Rajasthan raised serious concerns about the exam and administrative fairness. A staggering mix-up with the distribution of the question papers at one centre has impacted over a hundred candidates, leading the National Testing Agency (NTA) to expedite their corrective action.
What Went Wrong at the Exam Center?
The affected students could not take the examination as required, nor were many of those students even left with any firm determination on whether their answers would be accepted or not. This mess threw parents and advocates for education, and even the students in the course of months, if not years, as they had prepared for an important and intense examination.
NTA’s Response and Re-Examination Decision
After the NTA reviewed the reports, they indicated that they would conduct either an age or special re-examination for the selected 120 students. Subject to the investigation, the NTA assured the public that appropriate measures had been taken to maintain a fair examination process and they would do everything possible to ensure that the failures of administration was not repeated in the future.

Concerns About NEET Exam IntegritY
This incident has again emphasized the need for stricter protocols in examinations and training of exam invigilators. For an examination that determines the fate of lakhs of students, even one mistake can be disastrous. As the re-exam date approaches, students are hoping to have an opportunity to assert their merit this time without the interference of administrative failure. Click here for the source
