The government is ready to answer questions on the matter, says sources.
Earlier in a day, Supreme Court on Thursday sought a response from the National Testing Agency (NTA) on the petition that claimed "inconsistent" calculation of marks on the OMR sheets used for the NEET-UG 2024 exam.
A vacation bench of Justices Manoj Misra and SVN Bhatti issued a notice and sought the NTA's response by July 8, the date of the next hearing.
The petition filed by the learning app Xylem Learning also brought up the issue of the time limit for raising the grievance regarding the OMR sheets.
"Let us know if there is a timeline to provide the OMR sheets. As of now, we will tag it. Let NTA seek instructions on this," said the bench.
NEET-UG examination, conducted by NTA, is the pathway for admissions into MBBS, BDS AYUSH and other related courses in government and private institutions across the country.
