Meanwhile, Union Minister of State for Education Sukanta Majumdar in Rajya Sabha said the government is committed to ensuring fair conduct of examinations and is trying to strengthen the system to prevent any malpractice.
Replying to queries during Question Hour related to irregularities in the NEET UG exam held last year, the minister cited a Supreme Court order to assert that there was no systemic failure and the government has already asked CBI to investigate the matter and five charge sheets have been filed against 45 people in the paper theft case.
Majumdar said the government has passed a new law ‘Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024‘ and implemented many recommendations of the K Radhakrishnan committee.
The minister said that if the recommendations of the Radhakrishnan committee are implemented fully, “then, I think, this type of incident will be curbed”.
The NEET UG 2024 Examination was conducted by the National Testing Agency on May 5, 2024.
“After the conduct of NEET(UG) 2024 Examination, certain cases of alleged irregularities/cheating/malpractices were reported,” Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had said in a statement earlier.
The ministry had asked the CBI to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the entire gamut of alleged irregularities, including conspiracy, cheating, and breach of trust with respect to the NEET UG 2024 Examination.
“As on November 21, 2024, the CBI has filed five charge sheets in the NEET UG paper theft case against a total of 45 accused,” Pradhan said.
