While the National Testing Agency (NTA) will declare the results of National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) as per the Supreme Court’s directive, the case of two students who have moved the court against the mix-up of their answer sheets by the invigilator is set to be heard in the next hearing. These two students, however, fear losing out on their chance of admission this year for no fault of theirs.

Vaishnavi Bhopale and Abhishek Kapse, both from Maharashtra, who appeared for NEET in an exam centre in Solapur, had complained that there was a mix-up of answer sheets. The Bombay High Court earlier this month asked NTA to hold a re-exam so that these students need not suffer due to invigilator’s error. However, the NTA challenged the HC ruling in the Supreme Court where a hearing was held on Thursday in this matter. Considering that over 16 lakh candidates across the country are anxiously waiting for the result, the SC directed NTA to declare the results, and scheduled the next hearing on November 12 to examine the grievances of these two students in detail.
