Gujarat student's NEET score under scrutiny after failing supplementary exams
Gandhinagar: A student from Gujarat, who initially scored an impressive 705 out of 720 marks in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG), has failed her class XII (Science) board exams for the second time.
Despite passing the NEET exam, the student failed to clear her Physics and Chemistry papers in the initial board exams conducted in March. She attempted the supplementary exams in June but scored only 22 marks in Physics and barely passed Chemistry with 33 marks, the minimum required to pass, as per a report by TOI.
"These results cast serious doubts over the validity of her NEET score," said Fact-Checker Mohammed Zubair in a post on X.

Man arrested with Rs 2.54-crore heroin in Mumbai
Mumbai (PTI): Police have arrested a man and seized over 500 grams of heroin worth Rs 2.54 crore in the illicit market from him in Mumbai, officials said on Friday.
The police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) made the drug seizure in Santacruz in the western suburbs. The operation was conducted by the Kandivali unit of the ANC on Thursday as part of a special crackdown against drug trafficking in the area, they said.
Acting on specific inputs, an ANC team conducted a raid in Santacruz (East) and intercepted a man. During a search, the team recovered 508 grams of high-grade heroin from his possession, an official said.
The seized contraband, a highly addictive, opioid drug derived from morphine, is estimated to be worth Rs 2.54 crore in the international market, he informed.
Following the seizure, a case was registered against the man under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and he was formally placed under arrest in the early hours of Friday.
The police are currently investigating the source of the drug and trying to identify the intended recipients of the consignment, he said.
