A group of undergraduate medical aspirants have moved the Supreme Court of India, alleging a question asked in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test NEET 2021 was translated incorrectly. They have requested the top court’s direction to the National Testing Agency (NTA) to delete the question and release results again. A bench led by Justice DY Chandrachud will hear the case today, November 24.
The plea has challenged the NEET question paper and the answer key released by the NTA, alleging “discrepancy and patent error” in question number 2 of the Physics section (A).
In the English to Hindi translation of the question the words “amplitude of current” had been omitted and candidates who attempted the question on the basis of the Hindi translation arrived at a different answer, they said.
“Hence, discrepancy in the said question has put the Hindi Speaking students/states at a disadvantageous position pushing them back by thousands of years and jeopardizing their future,” the plea said.
