From around 11 students scoring 720/720 in the last four years in NEET to 67 students scoring full marks this year, the NEET 2024 scandal is beyond imagination. 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝, the rescheduling of the result declaration from June 14 to June 4, and 𝐬𝐢𝐱 𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫, all with consecutive seat numbers, have raised serious concerns. Another major issue is the NTA providing grace marks to 1,563 students, resulting in scores like 718 or 719, which seems implausible since each question in NEET is worth 4 marks, with a 1 mark deduction for every wrong answer.

According to Alakh Pandey (PhysicsWallah), NTA stated it provided grace marks to a few centers in four states: Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and Chhattisgarh. This raises questions about why the students scoring 720, 719, and 718 are all from the same center.

It is imperative that the NTA provides details of these students, their original marks, and their grace marks. We stand with all the students fighting for justice. PW (PhysicsWallah), Alakh Pandey (PhysicsWallah) and other faculty members are working hard to get justice for these students. #NTA #Neet2024 #Neet #paperleak #students #physicswallah #OMR #kota #allen #akash #coaching #medical

Student Opted Out vs Student Fails (in large numbers in HEIs of India/world). if a student, decided to opted out from the program. we need to understand the reasons. But if a student is not able to qualify from 1st year to 2nd year (after spending time, money, resources, 365 days or more time). It simply means we failed as a "System". l am not arguing that you can't fail a student. But my concern is where is the impact of intellectual resources, teaching learning process, innovative pedagogy, mentoring, counselling and support system??? Yes, there is a gap between academia-industry. Accept it and academicians must improve their teaching pedagogy. #FutureofHigherEducation we can debate/argue with our sentiments. But the truth is: We failed as a "system". Majorly, if the number is 40,50, more than 50. which is an approximate count of a full section (50-60 students of a batch). Let's rethink these aspects and understand the inefficiencies from all four perspective (student, faculty, Higher educational Institutions, Government Support and facilities). #HigherEducation #SchoolEducation #FutureofChildren #EducationPolicy MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Let's work together and transform the education sector. शुभ गुरु पूर्णिमा 🙏🙏🙏

Towards a Zero-Error Entrance Exam Era! 🚀 Exciting developments in India's education system as Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan recently announced bold reforms to minimize errors in entrance exams. This initiative aims to enhance accuracy, transparency, and fairness in the examination process, making it more robust and reliable. As someone deeply involved in education, these steps reflect the growing commitment to providing students with a fair and error-free testing environment. Entrance exams like JEE, NEET, and others shape the futures of millions of young aspirants, and reducing any room for error is critical. 🔍 Key Takeaways: 1. Enhanced Tech-Integration: Leveraging AI and automation to ensure accuracy. 2. Stringent Quality Checks: Multi-level verification processes to catch errors before exams reach students. 3. Transparent Communication: Real-time updates and grievance mechanisms for students. 4. Continuous Improvement: Regular feedback loops to refine the exam framework over time. This initiative not only aligns with our #NationalEducationPolicy goals but also sets the stage for a new era of trustworthy assessments. Let's appreciate the hard work of everyone involved in making these exams as flawless as possible. Kudos to the Ministry of Education for taking this visionary step forward! 🌟 #EducationReforms #ZeroErrorExams #DharmendraPradhan #NEP #StudentSuccess https://lnkd.in/duTP-dE7

📢 Important NEET Update 📢 The Minister has clarified why the NEET exam has not been cancelled despite the ongoing paper leak probe. 👉https://lnkd.in/d8VDsq8U #NEETUpdate #NEET2024 #ExamNews #Education #PaperLeakProbe #StudentInfo #StayInformed

Is NEET 2024 leaked? The full form of NEET is the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET). It is the sole entrance test for admission to undergraduate medical and paramedical courses offered in India. The exam is conducted once a year in offline or paper-pencil-based test (PBT) mode for three hours and 20 minutes or 200 minutes. As far as the NEET exam pattern is concerned, there are 200 questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, out of which 180 have to be attempted. The National Testing Agency (NTA) informed the Supreme Court that the scorecards of 1,563 candidates who received "grace marks" in the 2024 National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (undergraduate) will be cancelled. These candidates, who were awarded grace marks to compensate for the lost time during the NEET-UG, will be given the opportunity to reappear for the exam. Ideally, it's an overall failure of entire education system because, inside the supreme Court, the NTA accepted that this grace concept is wrong but on what basis these grace concept come into the picture suddenly? The biggest question is: How do 67 students scoring a perfect 720 in NEET-UG 2024 raise doubts? Six have seat numbers from the same sequence. Scorecards of students scoring 718 and 719 are also being circulated on social media, which parents claim is impossible to achieve in the paper, when each NEET question carries four marks and one mark each is given for negative marking. #indianeducationsystem #NTA #governancefailure #discrepancies

The decision of the NTA to conduct NEET examination again for the ‘1563’ candidates raises huge doubts about the conduct of the agency. But this is not an isolated incident. Such instances are quite common in India. Last month, a cousin of mine was given the wrong question paper during her 2nd semester college examination. When she inquired about it, the invigilator (from a different department) said “Answer whatever you know”. During the same time, the question paper was changed in other classrooms but not her’s. Post the exam, she went to the Head of the Department to seek clarity. What happened next displays how our educational institutes severely lack empathy for students. The Head of the Department blamed the students for not recognizing the subject code and pointing it out to the invigilator. He further said, “You would get an ATKT (back) and you could reappear for it next year”. While the students may be at fault for missing out on the subject code, it is the responsibility of the college to provide them with the correct question paper in the first place. Secondly, if they could change the paper for a few sections, what was stopping them from doing the same for others? You don’t expect a bunch of 18 year olds to sit in campus and protest in such scorching heat! The matter remains unresolved as of this moment. It’s high time we start prioritising education and strengthen the institutes that shape the future of our country. #NEET #NEETScam2024

GER in Indian Education:- a compromise tool with Quality education... !! In the recent past we have been witnessing the passing percentage of students in the examination it is quite amusing and interesting which raises our eyebrows in all forms.... Indeed, Indian education system is running behind the Gross Enrollment Ratio as a result, we have compromised with the quality beyond words. The 2021- 22 the GER is 28.4 per it means if 100 students enrolled in primary school only 28.4 per of students will admit to higher education...! even in the malfunctioning functioning system. The medicore evaluation process is one of tools to Sabotage the sanctity, Ethos of examination. The centum scoring is an indication of RBT Level 2 learning ie remembering! if we glorify such developments then where are we heading... in the era of Internationalization of higher education!!!! Indeed, majority of state universities across India are not competent in delivering quality higher education. And unable to set the Benchmarks for the betterment of education. If higher education runs on the number/ qualitative which could disrupt the entire scenario of Indian higher education in the days to come.

Why is Biannual Admission important: Listen to Prof. MAMIDALA JAGADESH KUMAR, Chairman UGC. 1) Flexibility, as students can now apply twice a year, avoiding long waits if they miss the July/August session; 2) Increased Access, with more opportunities for students to join their desired programmes; 3) Aligning with the practice of international universities for enhancing collaborations. #UGC #BiannualAdmission #TwoAcademicSessions #Sessions #Education #Students #Academics MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

Subject: Feedback on UGC Initiatives and Higher Education Research. Dear UGC Chairman Sir, I am writing to provide feedback on the initiatives undertaken by the UGC for the growth of higher education in India. While these initiatives have undoubtedly contributed to the expansion of the system (horizontal growth), it's crucial to consider the importance of vertical growth, which focuses on enhancing quality and research output. In this regard, I would be grateful if you could share any existing studies or reports that provide a comprehensive analysis of the current status, issues, and challenges faced by higher education in India. Furthermore, it's important to recognize that India's educational goals may differ from those of developed countries. A more nuanced approach might be beneficial, acknowledging these differences while still striving for excellence. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of two-way communication between the UGC and educational institutions. Improved responsiveness to inquiries and feedback could foster a more collaborative environment. Additionally, concerns exist regarding the potential for certain policies to benefit only specific groups. Recommendations: Strengthening Existing Institutions: Consider initiatives that support existing institutions and enhance their research capabilities. Effective Policy Implementation: Ensure clear and effective implementation of existing policies for maximum benefit. Open Communication: Encourage two-way communication between the UGC and educational institutions. By addressing these points, the UGC can create a more robust and equitable higher education system for all. Sincerely, [N.A. Reddy]
