Earlier on July 15, the apex court adjourned the hearing for Thursday to enable the petitioners to file their responses to the affidavits filed by the Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA).

Supreme Court directs NTA to publish on its website the marks obtained by the students in the NEET-UG examination and the identity of students be masked. The result should be declared separately city and centre-wise, says SC.
NEET UG 2024 Hearing LIVE: For the Godhra incident CJI says that it cannot say it was a part of widespread malpractice, there is no evidence that the cheating took place. It appears that wrongdoing has only happened in Hazaribagh… then after this, we are only left with statistics that 61 students got 720/720… Can we cancel the entire examination on that sole basis?
NEET UG 2024 Hearing LIVE: CJI says according to you that students got papers at 10.15 am. There are 180 questions. Is it possible that between 9.30 am and 10.15 am, there will be problem solvers and putting them to students in 45 minutes?
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta says there were 7 paper solvers and they demarcated 25 questions each, ANI reported.
CJI says the whole hypothesis that within 45 minutes there was a breach and the entire paper was solved and given to students seems very far-fetched.
NEET UG 2024 Hearing LIVE: CJI DY Chandrachud observes that the idea of somebody doing this is not to make a national charade of NEET exam. People were doing it for money. So, it was not to bring disrepute to the exam and somebody was doing it to make money which is evident now. Mass leakage of paper requires contacts also at that level so that you connect to all such key contacts in different cities etc. Anybody who is making money out of it won’t circulate it mass scale.
NEET UG 2024 Hearing LIVE | Petitioners’ counsel tells Supreme Court that dissemination of the leaked papers were doing rounds from May 3 itself.
He says evidence from Telegram videos shows that the solved papers were being circulated on May 4, ANI reported. Given the nature of social media, it is impossible to accurately determine the exact spread of the leaked papers and the beneficiaries.
NEET UG 2024 Hearing LIVE: Supreme Court hears cases relating to alleged paper leak and malpractices in NEET-UG 2024 exam.
Petitioners’ counsel says a trunk was transported on an open e-rickshaw to Oasis school in Hazaribagh where the school principal received this trunk. The sealed trunk was delivered to him and not to any bank, ANI reported.
Counsel says there is a systemic failure in conducting the NEET-UG exam by NTA, this failure is multi-dimensional.
Counsel says the transportation of question papers got compromised when for 6 days the papers were in the hands of a private courier company and the papers were being transportated in an e-rickshaw in Hazaribagh. Instead of taking it to the bank, the driver took it to the Oasis school.
NEET UG 2024 Hearing LIVE: Supreme Court seeks to know from NTA about the data on how many candidates, out of one lakh eight thousand, had changed their cities?

NEET UG 2024 Hearing LIVE: Supreme Court asks NTA – in the entire exam, how many students out of 23.33 lakhs changed their centre?
NTA says in the name of corrections, students change centres and 15,000 students utilised the window for corrections, ANI reported.
NTA tells Supreme Court that students can change only the city and no candidate can choose the centre. Centre is alloted by the system. Centre’s allotment is only two days before the exam, so nobody knows which centre is going to be allotted.
