The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the National Test agency to publish the marks obtained by students in the NEET UG exams. The results are to be published by Saturday noon so that the hearing can be concluded on Monday, the apex court said. “The result should be declared in relation to each centre separately. Let it be released by Saturday 12 PM … Let it be done, we have to see end of the matter (hearing of the case) on Monday,” the bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud said.”The fact that there was a leak at least in Patna and Hazaribag is (made out).. The question papers has been disseminated before the exam, that is undoubted. The question is whether this is only confined to these centres – in which case there is no question of a retest – or whether this is more widespread,” the court said. The top court also directed the agency to protect the identity of the students while publishing the results.”Now students have a handicap, because they would never have the kind of data necessary … We want the students’ identity to be masked… you can have dummy roll numbers, so no student’s identity is disclosed.. But let us see, centre-wise, what was the mark pattern … At the end of it… even if they fail.. they and we will have the satisfaction of having done our duty,” the court said.
