The 2024 NEET exam for admission to undergraduate medical courses in India has been clouded by controversy with incidents of paper leaks and inflated scores. Sixty seven students achieved the top mark in the examination, many from the same examination centre. Country-wide protests were launched with demands to cancel the examination and even to scrap the National Testing Agency, which conducted the exam.
