Jagan Reddy's party says Class 10 results rushed, seeks Nara Lokesh's resignation
One student from YSR Kadapa had her Social Studies marks increased from 21 to 84, and another from Bapatla went from 26 to 96. Over 66,000 students applied for re-evaluation, and more than 11,000 were declared passed after mistakes were corrected, said the party.'This isn't a small error, it's a failure of the whole system,' said Student Wing State President Panuganti Chaitanya. 'Nara Lokesh must take moral responsibility and resign.' The leaders also demanded free re-evaluation, refunds, and a public apology to the affected students and their families.In Hyderabad, former Education Minister Adimulapu Suresh also attacked the government, saying the fast-tracked evaluation, completed in just 21 days, was done to help corporate colleges start JEE and NEET coaching early. He called it a move that put profits over students.advertisementSuresh said errors were found in more than 30 per cent of the re-evaluated answer scripts, with marks jumping from 30 to even 93 in some cases. He demanded that admissions to IIITs, polytechnics, and other schools be paused until revaluation is complete.He also accused the current government of reversing earlier reforms like Nadu-Nedu and the IB curriculum, which aimed to help poor and rural students. 'This is not just carelessness, this is betrayal,' Suresh said.

NEET UG 2025: SC Declines To Consider Plea Alleging Errors In Question Paper
Last Updated: NEET-UG 2025: The petitioner's counsel argued that the three questions were incorrect, citing two expert opinions that supported this claim. On Friday, the Supreme Court declined to hear a plea asserting that there were 'serious errors" in three questions from the NEET-UG 2025 examination. A bench of Justices P S Narasimha and A S Chandurkar advised the petitioner's counsel to approach the relevant high court. The National Testing Agency conducts the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) for admissions to MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, and other related courses in both government and private institutions nationwide. The petitioner's counsel argued that the three questions were incorrect, citing two expert opinions that supported this claim. He stated that these questions affected the petitioner's score by 13 marks. 'These (three) questions were absolutely wrong. I have taken two expert opinions and those experts also concur with my views. They have certified my views," the counsel of the petitioner argued. The bench noted that the exam had already concluded. 'You withdraw this and go to the high court," the bench suggested, emphasising not wanting to deny the petitioner any remedy. The counsel requested that the Supreme Court appoint a panel of experts to review the questions within three days and consider their opinions. After the bench expressed unwillingness to entertain the plea, the petitioner's counsel decided to withdraw it. On July 4, the Supreme Court also declined to entertain a separate petition challenging the NEET-UG 2025 results due to an alleged error in one of the questions. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Dual nativity row hits medical admissions in Puducherry UT again
Puducherry: The contentious issue of dual nativity has once again marred the medical admission process in Puducherry, with allegations surfacing over irregularities in the draft merit list released by the Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC) for MBBS and other NEET-based courses under the government quota. The Pondicherry State Students and Parents Welfare Association has raised an alarm over suspected misuse of nativity claims, with its president V. Balasubramanian revealing that at least two students were found to be listed in both Puducherry's CENTAC merit list and the Tamil Nadu Health Department's list. This duplication, he said, points to potential fraud in the declaration of nativity, a critical factor in admissions under the Union Territory's government quota. In a formal petition addressed to the Lieutenant Governor, Chief Minister and senior officials of the UT administration, the association has demanded an immediate probe and intervention. It has urged authorities to prevent candidates from other states from cornering seats meant exclusively for Puducherry natives. The association has also sought a thorough cross-verification of applicants' NEET scores, rank numbers, and personal details against the merit lists released in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Kerala. Balasubramanian expressed concern that multiple similar cases may have gone undetected due to insufficient scrutiny. Despite clear provisions in Puducherry's admission guidelines — which disqualify any student claiming nativity in more than one state during the same academic year — the issue continues to recur annually. The rules also mandate a parental declaration affirming the legitimacy of the nativity claim, but activists allege that enforcement remains weak. Last year, eight students were disqualified on dual nativity grounds. However, the association criticised CENTAC and the Puducherry Health Department for not implementing the rules effectively. Balasubramanian alleged that the departments have failed to take proactive steps to detect and deter fraudulent claims. Drawing attention to recent action taken by Tamil Nadu authorities, who disqualified over 23 students for submitting fake documents under the NRI and other quota categories, the association urged the Puducherry government to adopt similar strict punitive measures. It also called for action against students, parents, and intermediaries involved in procuring bogus nativity certificates. With the admissions process underway, the association has warned that failure to address the issue promptly could deny deserving local candidates their rightful opportunity to pursue medical education.
