Incidentally, only six students had topped the NEET Exams last year. The NTA argued that the agency inflated the marks to compensate for the loss of time.
The students alleged that the inflation of marks should not have been done because NEET holds offline examinations. This should not have given scope for the loss of time.
Students held massive protests in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency of Varanasi. They alleged a massive rigging of the NEET Exams.
Sixty-seven students scored perfect 720 marks in the NEET Exams to stun the fellow medical education aspirants. They also accuse that several of the students had sequential serial numbers.
