One of the petitions was filed by Physics Wallah CEO-Alakh Pandey, who claimed that the NTA’s decision to award grace marks was “arbitrary”. Reportedly, Pandey collected representations from about 20,000 students, showing that about 70-80 marks were randomly awarded as grace marks to at least 1,500 students.

The second petition was filed by SIO members Abdullah Mohammed Faiz and Dr. Shaik Roshan Mohiddin, seeking recall of the NEET-UG 2024 results and conduct of a fresh exam. The petitioners alleged arbitrariness in the grant of grace marks, pointing out that marks as high as 718 & 719 out of 720 (secured by several students) were “statistically impossible”. It was claimed that NTA’s grant of grace marks was a malafide exercise to give “backdoor entry” to certain students, instead of compensation for “lost time”. The petitioners also raised suspicions regarding the fact that 67 students from one particular centre obtained full 720 marks.
In this second petition, the petitioners also sought a stay on the counseling to be conducted for NEET-UG 2024 admissions till investigation into allegations of paper leak was completed. They further prayed for the constitution of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the alleged malpractices in the conduct of the exam.
The third petition was filed by NEET candidate-Jaripiti Kartheek, challenging the award of grace marks as compensation for alleged loss of time during the exam. He contended that the “normalization formula” to award grace marks at best could extend only to the number of questions that may be left unanswered in proportion to the loss of time, given that each question has equal mark weightage; therefore equal time distribution to answer each question can be assumed.
