Nearly 24 lakh students had appeared for the NEET-UG 2024 undergraduate exam that was held on May 5. The results were scheduled to be released on June 14 but were declared ahead of schedule on June 4. Soon after the results were out, it was found NTA had awarded grace marks to more than 1,500 students which led to widespread protests and legal actions. Several students and parents claimed a question paper leak. A re-exam was held on June 23 by NTA for 1563 students of which 813 candidates appeared for it. The results will likely be released on June 30. Now, the CBI is investigating around six cases related to the NEET UG paper leak and has arrested two people from Bihar on Thursday. Furthermore, a school principal from Hazaribag is being questioned by CBI for the last 48 hours.
