NEET Retest Faces Impersonation Arrest and Score Dispute in India
Two recent developments highlight challenges in India's NEET-UG medical entrance exams. In Bihar's Lakhisarai district, authorities arrested a biometric operator accused of facilitating impersonation during the June 21 retest, raising concerns about exam security. Separately, a Gujarat aspirant contested her NEET score, alleging errors in her OMR sheet, but the High Court upheld the official results after reviewing evidence. Both cases underscore ongoing scrutiny of the examination process following a prior paper leak.
