The Centre filed an affidavit with the Supreme Court on Friday, opposing the cancellation of the entire NEET UG 2024 examination held on May 5, citing lack of substantial evidence of widespread confidentiality breaches. The affidavit argues that annulling the exam would unfairly impact the efforts of lakhs of sincere candidates who participated in the test.
Highlighting its commitment to conducting all competitive exams fairly and transparently, the Centre acknowledged the criticality of maintaining question paper confidentiality. It emphasized the need to prosecute individuals involved in any criminal breach of confidentiality with severe legal consequences.
The affidavit also noted that the CBI has been tasked with investigating various allegations, including conspiracy, cheating, impersonation, and breach of trust related to the NEET UG 2024 examination.
