The Supreme Court has asked the National Board of Examinations (NBE) to disclose its policy on publishing answer keys for the NEET PG exam, amidst concerns that it may compromise the integrity of the examination.
The court's decision comes after several petitions were filed seeking transparency in the NEET PG exam, including the publication of answer keys.
The NEET PG exam is a national-level entrance examination for postgraduate medical courses in India. The exam is conducted by the NBE, which is responsible for setting the question paper, conducting the exam, and declaring the results.
In recent years, there have been several allegations of discrepancies in the NEET PG exam, including errors in the question paper and answer keys. This has led to concerns about the integrity of the examination.
The Supreme Court's decision to ask the NBE to disclose its policy on publishing answer keys is a significant development in the ongoing debate about transparency in the NEET PG exam.
If the NBE is forced to publish answer keys, it could lead to greater transparency in the exam and help to build trust among students and parents.
The NBE has been asked to file an affidavit disclosing its policy on publishing answer keys. The court will then decide whether the policy is in line with the principles of transparency and fairness.
The outcome of the case will have significant implications for the NEET PG exam and the broader issue of transparency in medical education.
