NEET scam has resulted in lack of confidence and eroded trust

Students between the age group 17-19, including those planning to re-appear next year, mentioned the shaken trust in the examination process, leading to concerns about the integrity of their own future.

Saima Gauha, 18, resident of Kalkaji, who completed her schooling in 2023 and attempted NEET in both 2023 and 2024, may appear again next year. She expressed her frustration: “When I got the answer key and tallied the marks, I was getting 550. My worst-case scenario rank was around 70,000, but after the results, it went beyond 150,000. I was confident that with a year of hard work, I could score 650700. But after seeing all this scam and corruption, and no one accepting that the paper was leaked, there is so much unpredictability that I’m scared to consider another year drop.”
