The Supreme Court on Friday declined to entertain a students’ petition, which alleged that some questions in this year’s National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) (UG) were out of NCERT syllabus. The court observed that the NTA’s expert committee had gone through the contentious questions in the NEET (UG) exam, applied their minds and issued revised answer key. The petition also pointed out that the revised key issued by the NTA for some of the questions were also incorrect. “Upon perusal of the key, the petitioners were shocked to note that answers to a number of questions were demonstrably wrong,” the plea said. It said that the NTA, after taking note of various representations, issued a revised answer key on July 5.
