Aam Aadmi Party demands cancellation of NEET-UG 2024 results due to alleged irregularities and calls for retest.
Aam Aadmi Party national general secretary (organisation) and Rajya Sabha member Sandeep Pathak on Saturday said the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2024 results were announced on June 4, the day of the counting of votes for the Lok Sabha election, to “hide the failure of the system, which involves paper leaks from across the country, huge irregularities in its marking, and grace marks being given without basis”.
He demanded that the NEET be cancelled immediately and a retest conducted. “If trust has to be earned, then this type of rigging will have to be stopped immediately,” Mr. Pathak said.
