With Results Approaching, Students Call NEET UG Faulty Paper Discriminatory

The NEET UG 2025 exam was held on May 4, 2025, and the result is set to be announced this weekend. However, some students and parents have raised serious concerns over errors in the question paper and delays in redressal of grievances, urging NTA to respond quickly.

Reportedly, in Sikar and Gujarat, candidates received faulty booklets with jumbled page numbers. For instance, students who received Paper Code 47 in Sikar found that the pages of the question paper were not in order. In Gujarat, particularly in Jamnagar, candidates using the Gujarati medium Paper Code 48 faced the same issue.

Due to the incorrect sequence of pages in the question paper – such as question 7 being followed by question 14 –  some students said that they darkened the circle for the wrong question. Others said valuable time was lost trying to figure out the correct corresponding circles on the answer sheet.

Following the exam, parents submitted formal complaints to the Gujarat government and NTA, attaching scanned copies of the faulty booklets as proof. However, during the exam, when students raised the issue of faulty papers, they were asked to solve the paper.

Meanwhile, NTA has declined to comment on the Sikar case, stating the matter is sub judice.

Examinees and coaching experts also flagged concerns over questions as being beyond the syllabus prescribed. However, NtA said that all questions were from the prescribed syllabus. The answer keys have been published, and objections were invited from the candidates.
