NEET UG: The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate (NEET-UG), one of the most significant entrance exams in India for medical college admissions, is set to undergo a transformative shift.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has recently indicated that the exam is likely moving toward a NEET UG Computer-Based Test (CBT) format, a change that could streamline the examination process and enhance its security.

The potential transition to a computer-based format is part of the government’s efforts to address longstanding concerns about the security of the NEET exam.

The move follows the establishment of the Radhakrishnan Committee, which was set up to investigate allegations of paper leaks and irregularities in NEET exam procedures.

The committee’s key recommendation involves a phased shift from traditional paper-based exams to online testing, aiming to mitigate the security risks that come with physical paper handling.

The committee has proposed several strategies, including a hybrid model, where the NEET question papers would be digitally transmitted to exam centers while students would continue to write their answers on paper.

This model aims to reduce the physical handling of question papers, cutting down vulnerabilities in the printing, storage, and transportation stages of the exam process.

Moving Towards a Computer-Based Test

In an exclusive interview with The Times of India (TOI), Pradhan emphasized that the transition to a computer-based test is being discussed in consultation with multiple stakeholders, including the Ministry of Health and the National Testing Agency (NTA), which is responsible for conducting NEET exams.

A newly formed third-party monitoring group, led by former Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief K. Radhakrishnan, has also been tasked with overseeing the process to ensure transparency and accountability.

Pradhan confirmed that deliberations with the Ministry of Health and other bodies were ongoing, with the objective of moving towards a computer-based test (CBT). He explained, “We have two ways of conducting the test – paper-based and computer-based. Based on consultation and deliberations with the ministry, the committee, and NTA, we are in all likelihood moving towards CBT.”

This statement marks a significant step forward in the ongoing reform of the NEET exam, especially given the challenges the paper-based format has faced in terms of security and logistics.

Addressing Security Concerns with Technology

One of the primary motivations behind the shift to a computer-based test is to enhance the security of the exam process. Paper-based exams, which require printing, storing, and transporting large quantities of sensitive materials, have always posed significant risks in terms of paper leaks and malpractice.

By transitioning to a NEET UG computer-based test (CBT), these risks can be minimized, as all aspects of the exam – from question paper delivery to answer recording – would be handled digitally.

The Radhakrishnan Committee’s proposed hybrid model also aims to address security concerns while maintaining the integrity of the examination.

This model involves digital transmission of question papers to examination centers, while students write their answers on paper.

This hybrid approach reduces the physical handling of the question paper, eliminating vulnerabilities associated with printing and transportation.

Ensuring Transparency and Accountability

To ensure the success of this transition, the government has established a monitoring group that will continuously advise and oversee the activities of the NTA.

The group, led by K. Radhakrishnan, will function as an independent third-party watchdog to ensure that the entire exam process is transparent, fair, and efficient.

This oversight is crucial, given the high stakes involved in the NEET exam, where millions of students from across the country vie for limited spots in medical colleges.

A smooth, secure, and transparent examination process is essential to maintaining the credibility of the system.

The Role of Stakeholders in the Transition

The Ministry of Health plays a significant role in the NEET exam process, as it is the primary client for the test, responsible for regulating medical admissions in India.

As part of the ongoing discussions, the Ministry is being consulted to provide its input on the transition to a computer-based test. This collaborative approach ensures that all relevant stakeholders are involved in shaping the future of NEET-UG.

In a crucial update for NEET UG 2024 candidates, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has decided to conduct a Special Stray Vacancy Round for vacant seats in medical colleges across the country.

This step comes after the completion of the Stray Vacancy Round of UG counselling 2024, which left several seats unfilled due to non-joining or non-reporting by candidates.

The MCC’s initiative aims to ensure that these precious medical seats do not go to waste, thereby giving eligible candidates one last opportunity to secure admission to medical courses for the academic year 2024.

Vacant Seats and Eligibility for NEET UG Special Stray Vacancy Round

According to the MCC, some seats remain vacant after the completion of the Stray Vacancy Round of NEET UG 2024 counselling. These vacant seats are being made available for fresh allotment through the Special Stray Vacancy Round, which will be conducted in an online mode.

The details of the available vacant seats are listed on the official MCC website (www.mcc.nic.in).

Candidates who are already registered with the MCC portal and have completed the registration and payment of fees are eligible to participate in this special round. However, it is important to note that:

• No fresh registration will be allowed for this Special Stray Vacancy Round.

• Candidates who had joined a seat in previous rounds of counselling and those who have been allotted a seat but did not report are ineligible for this round.

Security Deposit for Participation

Candidates will be required to pay a refundable security deposit to participate in the Special Stray Vacancy Round. The amount depends on the type of seat the candidate is choosing:

• For Government Medical Colleges (AIQ seats): Candidates need to pay a refundable security deposit of ₹50,000.
• For Deemed University Seats: Candidates who wish to exercise choices for Deemed Universities must pay a higher refundable security deposit of ₹3,00,000.

Important Guidelines for Candidates

• Choice Filling: All candidates participating in this round will be required to do fresh choice filling for seat allotment. Any choices submitted in previous rounds will be considered null and void.
• Forfeiture of Security Deposit: Candidates who are allotted a seat in the Special Stray Vacancy Round but do not join the seat within the stipulated time will have their security deposit forfeited. Additionally, such candidates will be barred from appearing for NEET UG 2025.
• Joining the Allotted Seat: Candidates who are allotted a seat must report to the respective allotted institute with their original documents for verification and join the seat within the timeline specified in the schedule.
• Debarred from State Counselling: Once candidates are allotted a seat in the Special Stray Vacancy Round, their names will be shared with the state counselling authorities. These candidates will be debarred from taking admission in the Special Stray Vacancy Round of state-level counselling.

MCC Released NEET-UG Special Round Schedule for Counselling

The NEET-UG Special Round Schedule for 2024 has been officially released by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), offering a fresh opportunity for aspiring medical students to secure seats in MBBS, BDS, and B.Sc Nursing programs under various quotas.

In an exciting development for students aspiring to pursue Homoeopathy as a career, the Ministry of Ayush has announced a 15% reduction in the minimum qualifying percentile for NEET-UG 2024 (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate) for admission to BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) programs. This change will make more students eligible to apply for Homoeopathy courses, broadening access to medical education in the field of alternative medicine.

Alongside this reduction, the final admission deadline for both Undergraduate (UG) and Postgraduate (PG) courses in Homoeopathy has been extended to 20th December 2024, allowing students more time to complete their admissions. Let’s dive into what this change means, how it affects candidates, and the details about the new NEET cutoff for BHMS admissions.

What Has Changed with the NEET Percentile for BHMS?

Previously, students needed to meet a certain minimum percentile in NEET-UG 2024 to qualify for BHMS admissions. These percentiles (15% reduction in BHMS) were set by the Ministry of Ayush, and candidates who scored below the required cutoff were not eligible for admission. The new policy, however, reduces the qualifying percentile by 15 percentage points across all categories.

Here’s what this means in terms of NEET scores:

Old NEET Cutoff Scores for BHMS 2024

• General and EWS Categories: 162
• SC/ST/OBC Categories: 127
• General PWD Category: 45% of the maximum marks

New NEET Cutoff Scores for BHMS 2024 After 15% Reduction

• General and EWS Categories: 111
• SC/ST/OBC Categories: 76
• General PWD Category: Reduced by 15 percentile

This reduction significantly lowers the cutoff scores for candidates in all categories. In the case of General and EWS categories, the qualifying score has dropped from 162 to 111. For SC, ST, and OBC candidates, the score drops from 127 to 76. The adjustment allows many students who had slightly missed the cutoff in the past to now qualify for BHMS programs.

How Will This Benefit Aspiring Students?

The reduction in the minimum qualifying percentile means that more students will now be able to apply for BHMS courses. Those who previously did not meet the cutoff by a narrow margin—perhaps because of exam stress, a challenging paper, or other external factors—can now pursue their dreams of becoming homeopathic doctors.

For example, under the old system, General category candidates needed to score 162 marks to qualify. After the 15% reduction in BHMS, the new cutoff is 111 marks, a decrease of 51 marks. This change increases access to Homoeopathy education for a larger number of aspirants.

In a significant legal development, the Chhattisgarh High Court has set aside a recent state government notice aimed at distinguishing between candidates admitted to MBBS programs under the NRI quota before and after September 24, 2024. This ruling reaffirms the principle of equity in educational admissions and has major implications for students pursuing medical degrees in the state.

The Controversial Notice

The state government’s notice, dated October 18, 2024, was issued in response to a Supreme Court order that dismissed an appeal related to NRI admissions from the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

However, the Chhattisgarh High Court highlighted that the Supreme Court’s dismissal was made “in limine,” meaning it did not establish a binding precedent or address the merits of the case in detail.

The division bench, comprised of Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Bibhu Datta Guru, ruled that all admissions made under the prevailing state government rules would remain valid.

They emphasized that the state could amend its rules for future academic years but could not impose new criteria retroactively on students who had already been admitted.

Upholding the 2018 Admission Rules

The court’s decision centered around the 2018 admission rules, which outlined eligibility and documentation requirements for NRI students. Petitioners, who had secured seats based on these criteria, argued that the state’s directive unfairly subjected candidates admitted after September 24 to additional scrutiny while leaving earlier admissions untouched.

The High Court ruled that such differentiation was unjust and violated principles of equity. The judges pointed out that all candidates had been admitted under identical rules, and applying different standards based on the date of admission lacked an intelligible basis.

Moreover, the court criticized the selective application of another high court judgment, affirming that the Supreme Court’s dismissal did not provide a legal precedent for the state to follow.

Ensuring Fairness in Admissions

The court firmly stated that disqualifying candidates admitted after September 24 would be inequitable in the absence of any amended rules restricting NRI admissions to direct descendants. By quashing the October 18 notice, the court safeguarded the petitioners’ admissions and ensured they could continue their studies without disruption.

This ruling reflects a broader commitment to fairness in education, particularly in the context of NRI admissions, which often involve complex eligibility criteria.

Implications for Future Admissions

While the Chhattisgarh High Court upheld the validity of current admissions, it also acknowledged the state’s authority to modify the 2018 rules for future academic sessions. This flexibility allows the state to adapt its policies while ensuring that students who followed the established guidelines are not penalized retroactively.

A Victory for Students

The Chhattisgarh High Court’s ruling is a landmark decision that upholds the rights of students seeking to pursue medical education under the NRI quota. It reinforces the principle that educational opportunities must be equitable, protecting students from arbitrary changes that could jeopardize their future.

As the landscape of medical admissions continues to evolve, this judgment serves as a crucial reminder of the need for fairness and consistency in educational policies, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

In a shocking revelation, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has identified 144 medical aspirants implicated in a scheme to obtain leaked NEET-UG exam papers. These candidates allegedly paid significant amounts to access and solve the leaked papers just hours before the crucial examination, which is essential for admission to medical colleges across India.

The Scandal Unfolds in Hazaribagh

The investigation has highlighted the involvement of nine medical students who were found solving the leaked question papers at a guest house in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand. According to the CBI’s latest charge sheet, filed last week, the primary suspect, Pankaj Kumar, is accused of stealing the examination papers from the Oasis School in Hazaribagh. He allegedly colluded with the school’s principal, Ahsanul Haque, and vice-principal, Md Imtiyaz Alam.

How the Leak Occurred

The crime was reportedly executed on May 5, the same day as the NEET-UG examination. The CBI spokesperson explained that the trunks containing the question papers were delivered to the school after 8 AM from a bank vault. Haque, who served as the city coordinator for Hazaribagh, and Alam, appointed as the center superintendent by the National Testing Agency (NTA), are accused of facilitating Kumar’s unauthorized access to that room where the trunks has been stored.

According to the charge sheet, which spans over 5,500 pages, the investigation included testimonies from 298 witnesses, examination of 290 documents, and analysis of 45 physical objects. It details the elaborate methods employed by the gang involved in the paper leak.

The Mechanics of the Operation

Pankaj Kumar, a civil engineer from the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Jamshedpur, allegedly used a sophisticated toolkit to tamper with the trunk’s hinges, allowing him to remove one copy of the question paper. He meticulously photographed all pages before resealing the trunk and exiting the control room.

After leaving the school, Kumar transferred the photos of the question paper to his accomplice, Surendra Kumar Sharma, who was waiting at the Raj Guest House in Hazaribagh. At the guest house, the nine medical aspirants solved the papers. These solved versions were subsequently scanned and electronically sent to various locations, where criminal gangs printed them and distributed them to the candidates who had paid for the service.

Implications for Medical Admissions

This scandal raises serious concerns about the integrity of the NEET-UG examination process and the lengths to which some candidates will go to secure a place in medical colleges. The CBI’s thorough investigation and the extensive evidence compiled could lead to significant repercussions for all involved, including potential criminal charges against the students, school officials, and other accomplices.

As the CBI continues its investigation, it highlights the importance of stringent security measures and vigilance during national examinations to uphold fairness and transparency in the educational system.
