Notices issued over NEET UG exam problems in Meghalaya

The Meghalaya High Court has issued notices to the concerned authorities regarding alleged irregularities in the NEET UG exams conducted at the Jowai and Nongpoh examination centers. The writ petition, filed by Eleazer Vincent Lyngdoh and others, targets the National Testing Agency (NTA) and additional parties, citing significant issues with the exam administration.

During the hearing on August 5, Y Pallavi, counsel for the petitioners, emphasized the urgency of the matter due to the controversy surrounding the NEET UG exams in the two centers. Dr. N. Mozika, DSGI representing respondents No. 1, 2, and 3, acknowledged receiving instructions and requested one week to file an affidavit. The court granted this request and scheduled the next hearing for August 12, 2024.

“Prayer is allowed. Accordingly, list this matter on 12.08.2024, for further orders. The affidavit should be on board by the next date,” the court directed.
