The Central Government announced a high-level committee, headed by former ISRO chairman Dr K Radhakrishnan, to look into the functioning and fair conduct of examinations by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The seven-member committee will submit its report in two months.

NEET 2020 result likely to be announced today – Here's how you can check

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/53873126.cms" /> 
Getting admission into a medical college in Tamil Nadu has just gone doubly expensive, costing students close to Rs 2 crore. 
 
After the results of National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) were declared by CBSE, the private medical colleges and deemed universities in Tamil Nadu increased their fees for MBBS courses, making the average cost of studying at a premier college as high as Rs 1.85 crore, with Rs 1 crore as tuition fee and Rs 85 lakh as capitation fee. 
 
These private medical colleges and deemed universities will only be able to admit their students on the basis of merit, but still, some colleges have discreetly said that they would charge a capitation fee ranging from Rs 40 lakh to Rs 85 lakh. 
 
"I argued it should be based on merit, but the college administration says it wasn't specified in the SC order," a parent told TNN. 
 
Selva Ganapathy, whose son secured more than 90 percentile in NEET but missed a government medical college by 0.25 cut-off points said that "I have to pay at least Rs 1 crore as tuition fee. The total cost may go up by another Rs 25 lakh." 
 
When contacted, state health department officials said that private colleges had independence of deciding their fee structures.

Be ready to shell out Rs 2 crore for admission in a Tamil Nadu medical college

Tune into any bit of news these days, and you’re bound to come across the <keyword id="19978984" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="neet" source="keywords">NEET</keyword> controversy. With allegations of <keyword id="20118897" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bribery" source="keywords">bribery</keyword>, paper leaks and a dozen other crimes making for some murky water ahead for India’s future medical aspirations, there is no wonder the <keyword id="20039944" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="scam" source="keywords">scam</keyword> has been plastered all over the news cycle over the past week. NEET, which stands for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, is a mandatory test a student must attempt if they wish to pursue <keyword id="21099893" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="medical-courses" source="keywords">medical courses</keyword> in India and abroad. This extremely competitive exam is conducted once a year by the National Testing Agency (<keyword id="19985628" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="NTA" source="keywords">NTA</keyword>) in different locations all over the country, where students can score between -180 and 720 marks. Nearly 24 lakh aspirants participated from 4,750 centres this year. Here’s a list of all major events so far. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="NEET result declared" comment="subhead" text="NEET result declared">NEET result declared</cmsannotation> Less than a month after the exam was conducted on May 5, 2024, the NTA declared the NEET-UG 2024 exam results on its official website. Right from the get-go, things appeared suspicious, considering how the results were announced ten days earlier than their normal date. Many also pointed out how the NTA’s results coincided with the outcome of the 2024 Indian general election, calling it a ploy to distract from the <keyword id="21286400" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="malpractice" source="keywords">malpractice</keyword> at play. Further, many centres had faced several exam disruptions, which could have placed certain students at a disadvantage. As a result, the NTA announced that an appropriate “normalisation” formula would be applied to compensate for these interruptions. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Parents question how 67 candidates achieved full marks" comment="subhead" text="Parents question how 67 candidates achieved full marks">Parents question how 67 candidates achieved full marks</cmsannotation> As per test results, 67 candidates had topped the NEET with a perfect 720 score — something that was unprecedented in NEET-UG history. For context, only two students acquired the All India Rank 1 in 2023, with the highest being 3 toppers in 2021. Further probing revealed that six of these 2024 first-rankers were from a single centre in Haryana, making for some highly unlikely coincidences. In addition, some students had scored 718 and 719 marks, which was pointed out to be mathematically impossible as per NEET’s grading systems. These outcomes, combined with allegations of leaked <keyword id="20263157" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="question-papers" source="keywords">question papers</keyword>, led to public outcry and protests that demanded that the Education Ministry re-conduct the examination. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="NTA provides explanations" comment="subhead" text="NTA provides explanations">NTA provides explanations</cmsannotation> Later on, the NTA clarified that the process of normalisation, alongside easier physics and chemistry sections, might have led to some students acquiring these “impossible” mark sheets. However, many were not satisfied with these explanations and questioned how some students had a much higher rank than their peers with the exact same marks. Further, the NTA admitted there was an “incorrect distribution of papers” at the Haryana centre with six toppers. This led to lost time and thus the normalisation of marks was applied here too. Unsatisfied, many experts demanded a probe into the mechanism behind the grace marks. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Problems with the paper" comment="subhead" text="Problems with the paper">Problems with the paper</cmsannotation> As per The News Minute, 13,000 students flagged a particular question on the paper since it had two correct answers mentioned. Considering that NEET deducts marks for incorrect answers, many resorted to avoiding that question, losing out on crucial marks in the process. Many candidates have demanded that the NTA omit the question in the process of evaluation. In addition, many of the toppers attempted this erroneous question, which many found fishy. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Courts demand answers from NTA" comment="subhead" text="Courts demand answers from NTA">Courts demand answers from NTA</cmsannotation> The NTA was subsequently taken to the Calcutta and Delhi High Courts, where questions were raised on the vast number of toppers this year, in addition to the legitimacy of the grace marks awarded. While the NTA refused to conduct a re-exam for all 25 lakh students who wrote the NEET, committees were formed to investigate the grace marks given to 1,563 candidates, and why certain centres had unusual time lapses during the examination process. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Supreme Court intervenes, orders re-exam for 1563 students awarded grace marks" comment="subhead" text="Supreme Court intervenes, orders re-exam for 1563 students awarded grace marks">Supreme Court intervenes, orders re-exam for 1563 students awarded grace marks</cmsannotation> Calling the grace marks “arbitrary”, a petition was officially filed in the Supreme Court to challenge the NTA’s decision on the compensatory marks. Amidst falling trust in the examination system, the Supreme Court ordered a re-test for the 1,563 students who were given these grace marks at the initial NEET exam. This was to take place on June 23, with the declaration of results within a week. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="NTA withdraws grace marks" comment="subhead" text="NTA withdraws grace marks">NTA withdraws grace marks</cmsannotation> The NEET tells the Supreme Court that it has cancelled all grace marks awarded to 1,563 candidates, leading the number of top rankers to drop to 61. The outcome of the retest will determine whether these students will retain their top rank. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="No corruption at play, says Education Minister" comment="subhead" text="No corruption at play, says Education Minister">No corruption at play, says Education Minister</cmsannotation> Despite many claims of malpractice, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan denies any allegations of corruption. A few days later, however, Pradhan acknowledged there were irregularities at two exam centres. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Anonymous tip leads Bihar police to uncover nationwide fraud" comment="subhead" text="Anonymous tip leads Bihar police to uncover nationwide fraud">Anonymous tip leads Bihar police to uncover nationwide fraud</cmsannotation> Hours before the initial NEET-UG exam in May, Patna police received an anonymous tip-off leading them to find four suspected criminals. These individuals led the police to a meeting place where around 30 candidates had allegedly gathered to memorise leaked questions and answers. A top source from Bihar’s Economic Offenses Unit (EOU) — to whom the investigation was later handed over to — explained that such a practice might be happening nationwide. These papers were found burnt at an individual’s flat, who later confessed to the crime. "Photocopies of the question papers were given to the candidates and they were told to memorise the answers. The duplicate question papers were collected later in the morning and burnt," explained a source to The Times of India. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="‘Solver’ gang in Bihar" comment="subhead" text="‘Solver’ gang in Bihar">‘Solver’ gang in Bihar</cmsannotation> The EOU later found evidence that there might be several gangs involved in the <keyword id="20116086" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="paper-leak" source="keywords">paper leak</keyword>. They speculate that ‘solver’ gangs from Nalanda might have acquired the question paper from Jharkhand, solved it with experts, and then passed it on to the prime accused from Khagaria. In a confession statement, the prime accused admitted that they demanded between Rs 30-32 lakhs from each student, with the intermediate charging around Rs 40 lakh from each aspirant. The EOU makes many dozens more arrests. There are also speculations that these gangs provided proxy candidates to take the tests for the students. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Jharkhand private school leaked the paper" comment="subhead" text="Jharkhand private school leaked the paper">Jharkhand private school leaked the paper</cmsannotation> The Patna police then arrested five Nalanda residents, including key architect Baldev Kumar, who is also associated with the notorious Sanjeev Kumar, alias Lutan Mukhiya gang. These suspects, accused of multiple interstate paper leaks, allegedly received the NEET-UG solved answer sheets in PDF format a day before the exam. The Mukhiya gang procured the papers from a private school in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, as per the police report. "The gang had been plotting this for several months and it was a professor from Hazaribagh who had sent the question papers to Sanjeev using WhatsApp. Later, with the help of medical students from Patna and Ranchi, the paper was solved," explained a top official to ToI. Photocopied versions of the paper were given to around 30 candidates staying at a “safe house” in Patna. The other members of the Mukhiya gang have since confessed to providing duplicate SIM cards, mobile phones and accommodation for the gang members involved in the leak. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Political connections" comment="subhead" text="Political connections"><keyword id="22176947" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="political-connections" source="keywords">Political connections</keyword></cmsannotation> Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav, and also the leader of the opposition in Bihar, has now claimed that Mukhiya’s political links are preventing the arrest of Sanjeev Kumar. "The investigative agencies are not arresting Mukhiya because of his political connections. I will expose his pictures with politicians in the time to come," he told reporters. The RJD has also released a photo of Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary with Amit Anand. In response, another Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha noted that Tejashwi had prior knowledge of the accused. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Blue Dart and SBI involved" comment="subhead" text="Blue Dart and SBI involved">Blue Dart and SBI involved</cmsannotation> As per The Print, the leaks might have been due to oversight from courier company Blue Dart and the State Bank of India. A preliminary probe suggested that both organisations failed to comply with norms during the transport of the question papers. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Godhra centre teachers asked to fill in answer sheets" comment="subhead" text="Godhra centre teachers asked to fill in answer sheets">Godhra centre teachers asked to fill in answer sheets</cmsannotation> According to a report by The Print, dozens of students allegedly paid between 10 lakh and two crores to a coaching institute in Godhra, Gujarat, to receive help from their teachers during the exam. As per the report, the coaching institute, which was in cohorts with the exam centre, would fill in the OMR sheets for the students after the test ended. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Maharashtra teachers detained, possible Delhi connection" comment="subhead" text="Maharashtra teachers detained, possible Delhi connection">Maharashtra teachers detained, possible Delhi connection</cmsannotation> Suspecting involvement in the NEET paper leaks, the Nanded Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) detained two teachers, Sanjay Tukaram Jadhav and Jalil Umar Khan Pathan, as per a Moneycontrol report. In addition to teaching, both individuals run private coaching institutes in Latur. As per reports, the FIR also mentions Delhi-based Gangadhar and Iranna Kongalwar. These new suspects may have helped Jadhav and Pathan contact aspirants ready to pay for the leaked paper. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Only 52% appear for NEET re-exam, toppers unlikely to repeat performance" comment="subhead" text="Only 52% appear for NEET re-exam, toppers unlikely to repeat performance">Only 52% appear for NEET re-exam, toppers unlikely to repeat performance</cmsannotation> After all this controversy, the NEET 2024 re-test was finally conducted for 1563 candidates across four states on June 23. However, only half of these students managed to appear for the exam. The six students who topped with full marks from the aforementioned Haryana centre noted that it is unlikely that they will repeat their perfect performance, considering how the retest was more challenging than the previous iteration. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Government passes law to curb exam malpractices" comment="subhead" text="Government passes law to curb exam malpractices">Government passes law to curb exam malpractices</cmsannotation> The government introduced the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act 2024 in February. It aims to curb malpractices and irregularities in competitive examinations. Under the new law, offenders can see a maximum jail term of 10 years and a fine of up to RS 1 crore. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="NTA Chief removed from office" comment="subhead" text="NTA Chief removed from office">NTA Chief removed from office</cmsannotation> Following the uproar, the Chief of the NTA, Subodh Kumar Singh, was removed from his post and placed on “compulsory wait” in the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT). Further, a high-level committee of experts under former ISRO and IIT Kanpur chairman Dr K Radhakrishan has been appointed to ensure smooth, transparent and fair examinations.

Paper leak, massive bribes, political connections: Here's all you need to know about the NEET exam controversy

Recent cases of <keyword id="6356238" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="suicide" source="Orion">suicide</keyword> by students aspiring for career in Medicine or Engineering in <keyword id="77357" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="kota" source="Orion">Kota</keyword> (Rajasthan) - the coaching hub of the country - may have triggered debates over the tough competition and the unending pressure, but, these are not isolated incidents. There are numerous instances from across the country where young students, having desire to excel in their academic career, have succumbed for different reasons and decided to end their lives. Centralised data on suicide released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) showed that the number of students' deaths by suicide has increased in the recent years. With a total of 13,089 cases of suicide by students, the latest data shows that compared to 2020, the number increased by nearly 4.5 per cent in 2021. Nearly half of them were reported from the five states -- Maharashtra, <keyword id="6355554" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="madhya-pradesh" source="Orion">Madhya Pradesh</keyword>, <keyword id="20154" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="tamil-nadu" source="Orion">Tamil Nadu</keyword>, Karnataka and Odisha. According to the data, of total suicides committed by students, 14.0 per cent were reported in Maharashtra (1,834) followed by 10.0 per cent in Madhya Pradesh (1,308), 9.5 per cent in Tamil Nadu (1,246) and 6.5 per cent in Karnataka (855). While the report doesn't mention any specific reasons behind suicides, it said that 'failure in examination' was one of the reasons. On September 8, a 22-year-old medical aspirant ended her life by jumping from the nineteenth floor of a tower in her society as she could not clear the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET)-UG examination. The incident was reported from at Greater Noida's JP Aman Society in Sector 151. As per reports, an initial investigation revealed that the girl was unhappy after the declaration of her NEET result. In a similar incident, a 19-year-old Chennai girl allegedly died by suicide in Tamil Nadu's Ambattur after she failed to clear the NEET exam. The girl took the extreme step just hours after the results were declared. On June 30, a medical aspirant allegedly died by suicide over the fear of NEET. The 19-year-old from Choolaimedu (Tamil Nadu) was preparing for the medical entrance examination. Similarly, on April 30, two 17-year-old girls allegedly committed suicide in separate incidents after failing to clear Class 12 board examination in Balaghat and Tikamgarh districts of Madhya Pradesh. As per the Union Ministry of Education, the government and the <keyword id="44171" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ugc" source="Orion">UGC</keyword> have taken several initiatives to check the incidents of harassment and discrimination of students. University Grants Commission (Redressal of Grievances of Students) Regulations, 2019 have been formulated to safeguard the interests of the students. The UGC has also notified 'UGC Regulations on Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions, 2009' and issued circular for strict compliance of the Regulations. Further, the ministry has undertaken various steps such as peer assisted learning, introduction of technical education in regional languages for students in order to ease the academic stress. The government's Manodarpan initiative, covers a wide range of activities to provide psychological support to students, teachers and families for mental and emotional well-being during the Covid outbreak and beyond. In addition, institutions conduct workshops/seminars on Happiness and Wellness, regular sessions on Yoga, induction programmes, extracurricular activities including sports and cultural activities and appointment of Student Counsellors for overall personality development and de-stressing students. Further, students, wardens and caretakers are sensitised to bring to notice the signs of depression in fellow students to the authorities so that timely clinical consultation may be provided.

Nearly 90% of the registered applicants appeared for the exams. The National Testing Agency had strict standard operating procedures in place because of the pandemic, including measures like reducing the number of candidates per room from the earlier 24 to 12. The NTA had also increased the number of centres from 2,546 in 2019 to 3,862 this year to ensure crowd management and staggered entry and exit protocols. Unlike the engineering entrance (JEE), NEET-UG, the medical admission test, is a pen and paper exam held once a year. Candidates, who belong to the General or unreserved category, need at least 50 percentile to be eligible for counselling. In comparison, the candidates from SC/ST/OBC need 40 percentile to be eligible for counselling.

Since the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) results have been declared and the admission process has started, there is an 'urgency' to decide on this issue, the Government Order (G.O) said. "Since the NEET undergraduate results have been declared and the admission process has started, there is an urgency to decide on this issue. Since the power to issue executive directions under Article 162 of the Constitution of India is co-extensive with legislative powers, pending decision of the Honourable Governor, the government has taken the following policy decisions and issued orders accordingly," t<a href="https://www.livemint.com/education/news/neet-quota-bill-tamil-nadu-passes-order-to-provide-7-5-reservation-to-students-11603983703239.html">he order on 7.5% quota states.</a> The executive order has also been approved by Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit. The approval comes in less than 24 hours after Tamil Nadu government decided to announce it. 7.5% quota will be provided in each category The 7.5% quota shall be provided in each category of vertical reservation followed in Tamil Nadu within the 69% reservation. The reservation is applicable to all state-quota seats across all government medical and dental colleges. It would also apply to seats allotted by the state government in self-financing medical and dental colleges, minority and non-minority (institutions), and under all disciplines, the order said. The state-run school students are also entitled to compete for government seats, other than the 7.5%, along with students who studied in private schools. The bill was passed in the assembly on September 15 and sent to the Governor for his assent. The quota initiative was based on the recommendations of a committee headed by retired Judge of Madras High Court Justice Kalaiyarasan, and it included experts. The political tension The implementation of horizontal reservation, applicable to students who studied in government schools from class 6 to 12, became crucial for the ruling party. The issue became a focal point in the state, where assembly elections are due during April-May next year. By resorting to the executive route for implementing the quota, the AIADMK government has sought to take the wind out of the sails of opposition DMK, which has been upping the ante on the issue and had staged protests demanding immediate implementation of the reservation. Earlier this week, DMK chief MK Stalin, <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/tamil-nadu-dmk-protest-sees-large-crowd-more-will-follow-says-m-k-stalin/articleshow/78854334.cms">leading a demonstration</a> seeking the governor's nod for the bill, had said his party's protests would continue till the students got the reservation. He had also asked if there was justification for him to occupy the position without getting the quota bill cleared.
