Physics Wallah's CEO, Alakh Pandey, has filed a plea before the Supreme Court challenging the alleged arbitrary award of grace marks to over 1,500 NEET-UG 2024 candidates. The petition claims these marks were granted unfairly, distorting the exam's integrity.

The top court, acknowledging the issue, has sought responses from the Centre and the National Testing Agency (NTA). Lawyer J Sai Deepak, representing Pandey, stressed the urgent need for listing the plea, highlighting grievances from approximately 20,000 students petitioning against the grace marks policy.

As the controversy unfolds, the Supreme Court has tagged this matter alongside other petitions related to NEET-UG 2024, hinting at a comprehensive review post-summer vacation. An independent high-powered committee is being sought to investigate the examination process.
