Rank inflation is seen even among toppers with 67 candidates getting perfect score of 720. Entire issue is about how much inflation has happened, say NEET stakeholders.
Bihar Police officers say National Testing Agency, which conducts NEET, has not responded to all questions asked, leading to a delay in establishing the trail of alleged paper leak.
National Testing Agency, which maintains there was no paper leak, is actively putting out posts on results & responding to each query posted by students and politicians alike.
Starting with UGC-NET in 2018, National Testing Agency gradually assumed responsibility for other exams 2019 onwards. However, it has often received backlash over alleged irregularities.
The apex court also issued notice on a transfer petition filed by NTA seeking to transfer to SC a petition filed in a High Court alleging paper leaks and irregularities in conduct of NEET-UG, 2024.
Govt informs SC that high-powered panel formed by NTA has decided to cancel grace marks awarded to 1,563 candidates who appeared for NEET UG 2024 & give them option to take retest.
Testing agency also addressed questions regarding paper leaks in Patna & Sawai Madhopur, where Hindi medium students were mistakenly given English papers and vice versa.
High-powered panel looking into alleged discrepancies will submit recommendations in a week, says Subodh Kumar Singh, chief of NTA which conducts NEET-UG.
In previous years, there have been 1-3 toppers for each year at best. Now, students, parents & teachers are also demanding that NTA reveal how many students got grace marks & how much.
Research paper, however, finds lowest indebtedness level among Muslims at 12.3% & highest among Hindus at 14.9%. Overall national financial inclusion level at 87.2%, indebtedness at 14.7%.
Fresh details of operation conducted by IAF, Army have come out in gazette notification giving citations of those who were awarded Vir Chakra for their bravery.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
In MCQ, with a predetermined marking protocol, you donot have mark inflation per se. You cannot get more or less than 4 for a correct answer and get docked by 1 for a wrong one.
My reading is that the questions and options were too easy (possibly with NCERT Books made the base textbook to follow in setting questions) and question pattern became somewhat predictable with little surprise element. As a result, many students got a lot of questions they had prepared for and scored well.
Request to also cross-check the result pattern of other NTA conducted large exams like CUET. There were similar cases of large numbers of toppers in various subjects. Too easy and predictable question patterns I think is the main issue. Mark inflation is not considering considering MCQ format and fixed marking protocol.
