The examinees who will be affected by the four marks include 44 who scored 720/720.

“atoms”
and their qualities.

New Delhi:
Today’s Supreme order for only one of the four choices to be correct for the NEET-UG exam will deprive over four lakh students of the four marks they attempted in the exam.
Student 1 had objected that according to the rules that were previously explained, there should be only one correct answer to a question, and yet “Question No. 29” of the Physics section had two correct answers.
Another 44 students who sat for the test and got a perfect score of 720/720 will be among the students who lost four marks.
The order soon followed the report of three specialists in engineering from the IIT in Delhi, with the issue concerning the ‘atoms’ being cleared and their qualities.
This is an issue that the petitioner raised during the hearing that was conducted on Monday and demonstrated that there was a discrepancy (two right answers).
