June 11, 2024 310: NEET UG 2024
The NEET UG 2024 exam has been embroiled in controversy. Allegations include a question paper leak before the test, and the National Testing Agency (NTA) awarding “grace marks” to 1,563 students who faced issues during the exam. Despite claims of hundreds of marks being awarded as grace marks, the NTA maintains that it hasn’t impacted the qualifying criteria. Additionally, eight students from the same center in Haryana scored a perfect 720/720, raising further suspicion.

Join the lads as they dive deep and attempt to solve exam paper leaks once and for all.
