O R D E R
The petitioner had written the NEET-UG 2022 examination conducted by the respondents. After the score card was published by the respondent NTA, the petitioner on seeing the same through on-line, compared with the key answers subsequently released by the NTA, was in the apprehension that the petitioner should have obtained more than 180 marks, however only 65 marks since have been awarded to the petitioner, she wanted to compare the original OMR sheet along with the key answers and to publish the results once again. Therefore, for the said purpose, the present writ petition has been filed.

unfortunately the petitioner since had attended 131 more questions by giving wrong answers, the marks earned by the petitioner upto 196 has been reduced to 65 marks because of one negative mark given to each wrong answer. Hereafter, it is advisable for the students who write the NEET examination to be more careful and to avoid the questions where they have doubtful answer and only if they are very certain about the answer they can attend those questions alone. This observation is made in the interest of the students who appear for NEET examination.
Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
