NEET-UG 2024| Initial Statements Recorded By Bihar Police Indicate Paper Leak Happened Before May 4, Says Supreme Court

The Supreme Court today (July 22) verbally observed that the initial statements of the accused arres...

CJI : we have received the IIT Delhi Report. The director Prof Banerjee constituted a committee from the dept. of Physics, they say a team of three experts examined the question. They say option 4 is the correct answer
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: option 4 is " statement 1 is correct but statement 2 incorrect." then they say statement 2 is incorrect because atoms of radioactive elements are not stable.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: the committee has opined clearly that there was only 1 option which is option 4. So NTA was correct in its answer key which was option 4
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : I will assist yourlordships on that question aswell
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

A counsel raises individual grievance of his reduced ranking
SG: essentially yourlordships are examining whether there was a leakage nationwide or whether there is some incident of theft which has taken place which is our case
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: or as Mr Hooda argued that there are some systemic flaws in the process that the entire exam has to be redone
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: those candidates who may have some individual grievances we may leave it them to move the HC . I don't think the remit of this court is to start looking at individual grievances. We will detag those matters
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Narender Hooda appearing for petitioners
Hooda : here the question paper they got was 20 mins late . They were holding that question paper for first 3 hours and again that paper they were holding for another 3 hours, so all these people were holding the paper for 6 hours the same day
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda: to attempt the same question paper has again defeated the integrity the examination. Because somebody gets 3hours 20 mins once, these people are getting the 3 hours 20 mins twice over the same day, the question paper remains the same
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: initially gave the wrong Canara bank paper....
Hooda explained that in few centres the question paper was given in different medium of language.
Hooda: two centre- Sawai Madhavpur, Rajasthan and Ghaziabad
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : (For Ghaziabad) there are no pleadings
CJI: when was this detected?
Hooda: in Sawai Madhavput they detected in social media at 2:30. It is their affidavit on record. 2PM the exam started, questions were given, and students raised grievance that this is not my medium. NTA get to know on 4: 30 the same day
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda: then they make a decision that we will have another examination same day from 6-9PM
CJI: so what your saying that they held the same question paper but in different medium
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: how many students in Sawai Madhavpur?
Hooda: 120 ...for Ghaziabad they (Union and NTA) is in denial mode
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda : they are saying we are live monitoring the exams... in Sawai Madhavpur their systems are not working, they say from social media we got to know after 2.5 hours of examination this is what has happened
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda : so their argument that they have CCTV monitoring is completely destroyed
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: they have been able to give 2-5 centre and raised suspicion or apprehension. Even if the suspicion is true is it would be for that particular centre. Ill come to that separately.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : Your lordships are examining an issue where approximately 24 lakhs students are involved. Total centres 4750- this would be relevant figure in examining a pan-India cross Country Impact
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: we must satisfy your conscience from stats and figures not through some social media or telegram video. Top 100 students are spread over 95 centre, 56 cities and 18 states and UTs
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: the prime test - if I have the paper, then a bulk of people will be topping the test
CJI: do we have any students coming from Hazaribagh...
SG: I'll show you everything. we have done an exercise to see what the position of those centres in 2022, 2023, 2024. Whether there is any mark, jump or rise, that will be the only indication
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : there is a concept called percentile. Young students are unnecessarily getting tensed because of the wrong narrative which is going on.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG; the narrative was that for centres like Rajkot more than 30 candidates were qualified. General impression was that if you're qualified you're getting admission in the course of your choice
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: there has always been and also for this year, a system of coming to a percentile. Percentile is the figure after we get the result, it (result) is fed into the computer system and we request we want 50% percentile. so it gave us the figure of 164
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: so out of 24 lakhs students, 12.5 lakhs will be below 164 and 12.5 lakhs will be above 164. Those above 164 are qualified rest are not, they will not get the admission
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: it is always 50 percentile
SG : yes. Last year the cut of was 137, which indicates (1) this year number of students increased; (2) students were may more hardworking and (3) syllabus was sliced out
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: but 12.5 lakh are qualified, seats are only 1 lakh 8 thousand.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: why this was required? years back in private medical colleges, there were some management quota seats, they used to be filled up by people who weren't even qualified, who got 50 marks or 70 marks, therefore this system was introduced that we will come out with the system of percentile
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: Gujarat- Bahvnagar total appeared were 5800, greater or equal to 164 is 4660. Therefore success ration for being declared qualified (not admission) is 80.34%
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG submits the city wise qualification ratio
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: it is city wise arranged in a descending order
CJI: how many cities?
SG: 569. we have centres at some other countries also like Dubai, Muscat, Singapore
CJI: Doha, Kuwait etc
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: i treat them as cities because they have centres. The lowest is Chattisgarh, Narayan Pur with 8.6%
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : this is for the limited purpose to show that more number of people getting qualified doesn't mean they are getting admission
CJI: they're just above the cut-off
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: kindly allow me put across one point- there are several centres like Kota, Rajkot which are hubs of competitive exams. The word which is being used by the newspapers- 'Factory' is possibly taken from the web series 'Kota Factory'
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: Kota in Rajasthan, Rajkot in Gujarat, Nammakal in TN ...seevral centres and hostels, the entire economy is centred on students, there are question papers given everyday, when the child sits for the actual examination actually it is their 200th examination
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: whether I am preparing for UPSC or NEET , Ill go stay there and prepare. This has been happening for many years, but still there is no alarming rise since last year. I wanted to say that the example of Sikar, Kota may not assist your lordships to arise at the correct conclusion, they appear sui-generis centres
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: what I'll get in Jamnagar Gujarat, some better training is imparted in Kota , or Sikar etc
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG takes the bench to 'City-wise Success Rate' Table
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: this consists of 56000 govt colleges and 52000 private colleges.
SG: just to give you the feel of the pan-India impact, I have not deducted the reserved seats. Reserved seats success rate would be almost half
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda: one factual clarification, there are 5 other courses the admissions to which happen from the same NEET examination, so the total number of seats are about 3 Lakhs and the rank for admission goes up to 12 Lakhs from the same NEET exam.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: but the 50 percentile is applied across all courses?
SG : yes
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: Bihar, Patna their success rate is 5.53% this year. But see the earlier years it has remained consistent, 2or 3% plus or minus is everywhere. Additionally it would depend upon the calibre of each batch
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: Hazaribagh - this year 4.61% only . Belgavi , it was said that a student shifted to Belgavi because they said there was some huge potential for mass copying - 2.5%
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: Im now showing percentile, those who were above 12 Lakhs. Bihar, Patna- 49.22 % were qualified, similarly Jharkhand, Hazaribagh, Punjab etc are not in the highest bracket of 80+
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : (giving centre-wise break up) Sikar, Centre - Gurukul International School, total appeared 715, those ranking within first 56000 students is only 101. The success ratio is 14.30% and those ranking within 1 Lakh 8 thousand is 152, and the success rate is 21.16%. If we count the reservation this would be perhaps half.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: Sikar total success rate is 19.22%. Previous year 19.19%
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG in 2022 it was 24.00%. So it has decreased year by year
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : Kota , Lal Bahadur Shastri- 476 appeared. Those ranking within first 56000- 28 and I am not counting the reserved categories. There is no spike, has remained constant within the last few years
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: Success ratio is 5.88% and rank within 1.8Lakhs is 52 and success ratio is 10.92%. Success ratio in each of the centre remained almost consistent
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: Rajkot - average is 5.22% and 10.77%
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: we opened the window for some time,it resulted in more number of candidates getting an opportunity to compete, that does not lead to an inference even remotely of any wrongdoing, But what was not pointed out was that out of the 23 lakhs students those who used the portal to change the centre was only 14000.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: 14,546 out of 23 Lakhs
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: these 14000 students are distributed amongst 4020 centres in 557 cities
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: if there was a possibility of one centre of city offering that illegal award, the concentration would be on that one city or cities.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: when a student applies for any change in centre do you ask for any documentation or reason?
SG: to my knowledge, no
CJI: you can opt for any centre in the Country?
SG: City is the choice, not centre and we respect that choice and we do not sit in appeal whether your request for change is justifiable or not
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

J Pardiwala : the request came when ?
SG: 18-20 March and 11-12 April
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: mere change of city may not lead to any cross country manipulation. therefore we have said that out of the 14000 students, who for their own reasons which we have not examined, sought transfers and were granted, their success rate is only 6. 46 %
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: they were transferred throughout the country
CJI: 33 students came to Hazaribagh, 37 came to Patna and 24 came to Godhra
SG: in Godhra no body is getting admission
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: out of 33 in Hazaribagh only 1 candidate scored more than 622, success rate is 3%. Out of 637 candidates who appeared in Patna only 35 scored more than 577 corresponding to 1 Lakh mark that also without reservation otherwise this figure of 35 will come down to 20 roughly
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda : the reference point which they have taken out is sometimes out of 56000, sometimes marks above 622, this will not lead us anywhere whatsoever. Wherever the picture is seen normal they pick up that as the reference point and present this data.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: we taken 56000 and 1.8Lakhs because the petitioners only argued on that basis
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI; we would like to see the 1563 candidates
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: they were given grace marks initially. thereafter re-test was done, from 6 centres.
CJI: these are the candidates who got compensatory amrks for getting the wrong paper?
SG: no they could not get the 3.2 hours, full time
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: why were they did not given full time ?
SG: essentially because of the wrong paper been given initially ...
CJI: they were given either the Canara Bank paper or maybe those with different medium of instruction also
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: when was the re-test held?
SG: 23rd June 2024
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : But out of 1563 only 813 appeared
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: but nothing but turn on this my lord, why do only 813 appear? suppose I am a student and I got only 2.5 hours and did not complete my paper, I am a Brilliant student (let's suppose). I will not choose to go for a chance of a re-test. The option was either you accept your result given in less time or you perform a re-test.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: so the student was given a choice to accept the results minus the compensatory marks. So student had a choice why would I take a chance and score less in restest or gamble by appearing again.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG submitted that a proportionate formula similar to CLAT was applied
SG: same methodology was applied , based on what they scored and the time lost
CJI: everybody did not get same compensatory marks ?
SG: No
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: what about those who were given the Canara Bank paper ?
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: Canara Bank papers were distributed at 12 centres. Out of 12 centres, 4 centres replaced the papers with SBI papers, thus 8 centres question paper from Canara Bank was used.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: so 3307 candidates were not assessed on the basis of the papers of SBI but Canara Bank , has some moderation been done between the Can Bank and SBI papers?
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: report of the expert is that the difficulty level of both the question papers are the same . That is always how the questions are prepared so that one question paper is not difficult than the other
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: what is the success rate for 622 and above?
SG: the cut off mark who's rank is within 1.8 Lakhs is 577 which is 4.6 %
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: for Canara Bank and SBI we have the same moderators
CJI: But how where the Canara Bank question papers distributed in the first place?
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: city coordinator is authorised by DG NTA in writing . The authorisation letter contains the name, photograph and signature of the city coordinator duly authorised by the DG NTA
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG Submits that the city coordinator as per the practice goes along with the centre superintendent as well as a neutral observer appointed by the NTA for each centre who is principle or lecturer
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI : but are the banks informed in the morning that look we are choosing the SBI option
SG: both banks should be instructed that you give and you do not give
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: because this should be centrally circulated to Can Bank this time that look your paper is to be maintained in safe custody and not to be distributed
SG: and SBI should be told not to give when somebody else comes (apart from the City Coordinator)
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: the system as a whole has worked, except for the human error at 0.3% centre that is 8 out of 4750 centres
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG shows the sealed question papers of the exam
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: from oasis school, between 8:02 to 9:23 AM , we have the CCTV footage etc they open the trunk from behind and distribute it to the solvers. There are 8 solvers , 25 questions each ensuring there are no mobiles
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: after the memorising exercise etc they burn the paper, but this piece remained unburned. That was recovered by Bihar Police and there is in the middle one number , this number belonged to a girl who already complained that the paper which I received was resealed
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: the paper came in Patna in tranches one came at 10:30 and one at 10:45 AM . They were asked to memorise and then at 12:45 we have the CCTV footage of where there gathered for the purpose of going to that school and they come back to that meeting point again and dispersed to different centres, they were from different centres not from this school.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: School is only used for the purpose of committing theft of the papers.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA representative : this serial number which is written on the half burnt page is a unique number. If 24 lakhs of question papers are printed there will be 24 Lakhs different codes. This serial number goes to Oasis school as for only their record, It cannot go to another centre in the country
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA Representative: that how we went to Oasis School asked whom did you issue this paper to ? this paper was given to a genuine candidate. This paper was not stolen, she was not involved in it, because there is no displacement of the paper, it was only photographed
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: and it was put back
NTA: and it wen to a genuine candidate in the normal course. That Candidate found that the seal here (on the leaf side) was broken and open, and here also the sticker. She did not say anything and kept quiet but to us she said this is what was found
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA: This shows tampering. Secondly these pieces (burnt paper) we found in Patna at Learn Boys High School where about 25 candidates were gathered and this solved paper was given
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA: the original paper was not taken out, it was put back, but its print out taken out and circulated to the candidates one paper per 2-3 candidates, they sat in a group started memorising
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA: then they put them all together and burnt it
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: the genuine candidate was in which centre?
NTA : Hazaribagh Oasis School
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: the paper was otherwise destined for Hazaribagh school , the breach occurred in Patna ?
NTA: no in Oasis School Hazaribagh but relate to Patna
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA: Problem solving also took place in Hazaribagh. there were two groups of candidates one beneficiary group in Hazaribagh where the problem solving also took place on another floor of the building. On the first floor girl candidates where there, 2nd floor male candidates and 3rd floor where all the 7-8 solvers with the gang without mobiles
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA: after this solution, a digital image was taken and again was transmitted to Patna Learn Boys High School where the other gang members were present
CJI: and you recovered these burnt pieces from ..
NTA: Patna , Learn Boys High School
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA representative shows a packet of seal question papers to the Bench
NTA: These are 72 question papers, 4-5 packets kept in a trunk. This has got 3 packets of 24 papers each (within the big packet)
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA: On the packet the invigilator and centre superintendent has to sign that when we open there is no tampering. So though there was tampering and burnt from one side and again refixed, they have signed. Because the Centre Superintendent and City Coordinator were also involved in the conspiracy
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Bench: you have arrested this person?
SG: yes arrest, he took money (Centre Superintendent and City Coordinator)
NTA: along with a middle man who was the bridge between the the gang and the two. The conspiracy was hatched almost 2-3 months prior to the actual stealing because they had to also identify one weak centre who is ready accept the money and give access.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: once they hatched the conspiracy 2-3 months back, how did they confine it to such a small group of people? Human greed is to otherwise maximise the profitability from the conspiracy. Why did they only confine themselves to just 25 people ?
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG submitted that total figure of candidates was 155
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: they do not want to be exposed, they go to the people one-on-one, they fall into the trap, they give post-dated cheques and some amount of advance. We have recovered the post-dated cheques also. Post-dated cheques now cannot be encashed
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: there is no evidence to indicate that this happened widespread?
NTA: no mylord, what we found is that there are 2 locations in Hazaribagh where this was shared after solving and one location in Patna. Within Patna they had a group had a subgroup of 6 female candidates on 4th itself so they didn't want to keep the boys and girls under the same roof, so they kept the 6 girls in the house of an accused
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: what happened to the statements given to EOU in Bihar saying that the leak was on the night May 4, there seems to be an improvement in their subsequent statements where they say leak happened in morning hours of May 5
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: the leak from Hazaribagh to Patna was through one of the pictures clicked and scanned and sent, has that mobile been seized?
NTA: No mylord they have destroyed some of the gadgets and yesterday we received some of them, now we to examine them forensically whether these set of mobiles recovered were from the same gang
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA: whether the same instruments were used has to be ascertained from the FSL Report
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: perhaps the FSL report will tell whether they were sent only to Patna or did it go somewhere else also.
NTA: if the WhatsApp chats are not deleted we will know where else it was gone
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA: But apparently from the interrogation they have destroyed those mobiles after the offence, The main core group.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA: the fringe elements the rest of 18 mobiles, their report has come.
CJI: I was reading i didn't flag that page (from the submissions) they have thrown it in the river or something
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: thrown in some water body etc
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

J Pardiwala : this is an offence of an immature. Professional would not commit this mistake, he would ensure that the entire paper is burned. You got the first clue (CBI) because of these numbers, these numbers were on the booklet ?
NTA: on the top of the booklet
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

J Pardiwala : entire booklet was photographed?
NTA: each page, its on CCTV footage he had 1 hour 20 mins , even the OMR sheet and question have the same number they come in the same packet
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: how do we conclusively say that these scanned copies are sent to no other centres other than the ones in Hazaribagh and Patna?
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: do we have the forensic data? the electronic footprint that this was sent to this, that was sent that etc
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: that is why I gave the figures, because the time available for them to impart whatever was stolen was hardly 1-2 hours , the beneficiaries also did not fair well
CJI: earlier we thought, after he takes the photographs and comes to the centre at 9:30 AM and 45 minutes were given to the problem solvers. No the problem solvers got the question paper at 8:30 itself
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

NTA: at 9:34 AM he comes out at transmits as per the statements
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : the accused got only 2 hours to mugg up the questions is reflected in the result they got
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: there are 2 candidates with 581 marks (in the group of beneficiaries )
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: these are two conclusions of the report : (1) no evidence is there to show that the solved paper were circulated in any form randomly except the 4 locations mentioned above there is no evidence; (2) the total number of the candidates who were benefited from this stolen paper are around 155
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: around 30 in Patna and 125 in Hazaribagh
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: this is for the purpose of segregation whether the segregation is possible or not
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG reads from the report stating that the images of the two trunks at the control room of Oasis School at 7:53 AM on May 5 was different from the image of the trunks positioning when the officials had subsequently gone to open the trunks
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: this is to satisfy your lordships that the theft had happened between 8:02 to 9:23 AM, that is corroborated by the CCTV Footage.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG refers to the decision of the Court in Tanvi Sarwal v. CBSE by the bench of Justice Amitava Roy. In the said decision, the Court cancelled All India Pre-Medical 2015, for 6 lakh students after finding that 44 candidates were beneficiaries of unfair means
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: here the investigating agencies came to the conclusion that the paper was leaked and paper travelled through several states
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: the question before the Court is that based upon a mere apprehension which is not based upon any concrete evidence, would your lordships consider compelling or rather requiring 23 lakh odd students painting them with the same brush?
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: when the investigation has categorically reported before your lordships that we believe that this is at 4 places, that is corroborated by the IIT Report
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: their modus operandi is very clear , to select some persons, go to them categorically
J Misra : Is there any forensic evidence that the telegram paper was in the same form and pattern as the paper which was leaked ?
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

J Misra : any forensic comparison of the two papers was there or not?
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : there is none
J Misra : telegram paper photo in your report doesn't match the photo which is the one there in the inquiry report
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

J Misra : not only the font but also as far the numbers are concerned
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : after the examination, some student gives it to either uploads himself, with the view to hide his identity he masked the number
J Misra : but whether the font pattern, the structure pattern that has to be forensically tested
SG: Yes my lords
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: the testing will be done today itself
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: the MCQ Question with the two correct options - there are old books which are available contain wrong answer. But in the NCERT ...
CJI: but your instructions say go by the latest edition
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: in case of dispute both the marks are to be counted
CJI: how can that be possible? here if you look at the two answers, each of the excludes the other.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: its a trick question not an ambiguous question Ill say
CJI: see option 2 says - both statement 1 and 2 are correct; option 4 says statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect, so both cannot co-exist together
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: the incorrect answer in the old text book continued until when ?
SG: 2021
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: I think we should not go by editions etc, we will go by the correct answer. Suppose the latest NCERT edition has the wrong answer, but the student improvised and prepared well and gave the correct answer ....IIT tells us what is the correct answer! (laughs)
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI : yesterday we referred to IIT by your consent
SG: yes I consented your lordship
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG: those who relied upon an authorised text of the NCERT and gave the answer should also not get the disadvantage of the it
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

J Misra : the question here is not about rote learning, you have to have the fundamentals clear. So far as the stable atom is concerned it has to be a radioactive element ....being a science student I am a little bit aware of it.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: and though we gave the director time until 12 PM, before 10 o'clock we had the answer on the table. It would have taken probably 10 seconds to answer the question
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Counsel for the NEET topper who scored 720/720 submitted that not allowing marks for the incorrect answer in the old text book would reduce her scores to 715/720 . Counsel says that in the bulletin there was no whisper of the latest editions to be referred to
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI points to the FAQs released post declaration of the NEET results
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: only option 4 is correct , not case where both the options are correct
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: the IIT Report is staring us in the face, assuming we are not setting aside the whole exam, what if we say that option 4 will be the correct answer, but for anybody who answers option 2 there will be no negative marking? Talk the director of NTA
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG : I think reasonable. But Lordships may ensure that it doesn't become a precedent then for every question there would be a litigation
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

SG submits that NTA has filed an affidavit clarifying the allegation of bias by the IIT Madras Director, SG states that the IIT Madras director for this year is an ex-officio member of the governing body of NTA and not in the managing committee which calls the shots

Hooda : CBI specifically cautiously uses the word 'so far' we have not gone beyond Patna and Hazaribagh. CBI is not so novice that it will accept the statement of the accused arrested 'so far' ...it is an evolving situation
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda: investigation is going on, can they file an affidavit saying that hence for the there will be no investigation to see whether it has gone beyond ? If today a judgement come and tomorrow this Sanjiv mukhya is arrested along with the mobile showing he had sent it to 200 people in Sikar
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: CBI investgation is going on, we also on one hand cannot say that the leak is confine to Hazaribagh and Patna, equally we cannot say today with any degree of certainty that the leak has gone beyond Hazaribagh and Patna in such a widespread way that it completely effects the sanctity of the exam , that also we cannot say.
CJI: Would the court be justified in saying that on the basis of the hypothesis that some material has gone beyond hazaribagh and Patna and therefore today we cancel the exam
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Nedumpara : whenever I want to speak the CJI prevents me from speaking (interjects)
CJI: you pls sit down I am warning you. I will have to have you remove , Mr Hooda is arguing, you have no right to intervene
Nedumpara: I am not intervening, I am leaving
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: pls call security we will have him removed from the Court, please. You will speak to the gallery, you will listen to me I am in charge of the Courtroom.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: I am in charge of the procedure of this Court, I have seen the judiciary for the last 24 years, and I will not allow any lawyer to dictate the procedure of this Court . I will give you a full hearing but only after Mr Hooda
Nedumpara : alright, I have been seeing the judiciary since 1979
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda continues his submissions
Hooda: no denying the fact that mobile phones used have not been recovered.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda : As of today the whole world is watching, the paper has been leaked by a gang, the investigation is happening, mobile phones have not been recovered is there any sanctity left of this examination?
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda : merely figures are being thrown before the Hon'ble Court
SG: we never throw figures, we present figures
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda: the integrity has actually gone. we cannot reach a conclusion that everybody has been identified rest all are pious
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda: if NEET is a patient it suffers from multiple organ failure and the patient has to go
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda: for Hardyal School today they give 2 page note saying that bother SBI and Canara Bank papers were give. the video on record of the school principal says that not a minutes delay, the canara bank paper was distributed, after 45 mins we got to know that it should be SBI , we contacted NTA they said now time has gone let them attempt Canara Bank
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda: there are no two question papers which can be at power in my opinion.....the average for SBI paper is 164 marks , what is the average of the people who attempted the Canara Bank paper? they have not given this data
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda: there is no parallel, this vitiates integrity
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Hooda : there is no time frame for the sealing of OMR sheet in their SOP which is placed on record.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Sr Advocate Sanjay Hegde makes his rejoinder submissions in brief
Nedumpara : I wanted to answer the questions raised by Justice Pardiwala and CJI, as an active member of the discussion anyone could answer the questions, I was treated unfairly, I did not do anything wrong I am sorry
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Nedumpara: I am amazed by the kind of criminal trial going on in the court. I ask a common this question, if the leak has happened there is not alternative than a retest
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Nedumpara: this was the issue of governance, the govt very conveniently did not raise the issue of maintainability of these petitions.
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Nedumpara: this is the issue of the governance, the call of the minister... I am not anti-BJP, I am in support of the BJP , I advocate on voting for BJP but what has happened today? this is unacceptable, the government of the day is accountable to the people
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Nedumpara: the Parliament answer, the session is going on, let the govt answer. These are all administrative issues
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Nedumpara: the only option is to throw the ball back to the govt's court
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Nedumpara: I conclude by saying that I forgive your lordship for all the insult to me and humiliation. I have nothing in my mind, I have the greatest regard of your lordship
#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

Nedumpara: Justice Pardiwala also I have the greatest of the regard, though I was insulted, I don't have anything in my mind. NEET has to be called in no time

#NEET_परीक्षा #NEETUG2024 #SupremeCourt

CJI: submission by the petitioners is that the leak which took place in course of the NEET UG Exam is systemic in nature and coupled with the structural deficiencies in the modalities of the exam, the only course of action permissible in view of this course and in the decision of Tanvi Sarwal vs Central Board Of Secondary Education is to direct a re-examination
#NEETUG2024
