NEET-UG | No Conflict Of Interest On Part Of IIT Director Who Prepared Data Analytics Report : NTA Tells Supreme Court

CJI: only option 4 is correct , not case where both the options are correct

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

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

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

CJI points to the FAQs released post declaration of the NEET results

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

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

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.

CJI : yesterday we referred to IIT by your consent

SG: yes I consented your lordship 

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)

CJI: the incorrect answer in the old text book continued until when ?

SG: 2021 

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 

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.
