<p>The problems with regard to the undergraduate National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET), for entry into medical and dental seats across the country, is not yet over. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The results of the test are likely to be declared in a week. However, students are anxious about some “errors” in the questions. The answer keys to the exam were released on August 8. <br /><br />Ashwin Shetty, an MBBS seat aspirant who had appeared for both, NEET-1 on May 1 and NEET-2 on July 24 checked the answer keys as soon they were out. He noticed that there were some discrepancies. <br /><br />“I realised that there were a few errors in the questions after the answer keys were made public. I found one in biology where the answer that was given was not correct,” he said. For every right answer, a student gets four marks and there is one negative mark for a wrong answer. “Even a single mark can lead to a great difference in the rankings as thousands of students have written the exam and there is fierce competition,” said Shetty.<br /><br />Students across the country have pointed out a few errors in the chemistry section and one in biology. The CBSE had given students time till August 10 to file objections, if any. <br /><br />Allaying the fears of students, Dr G Sridhar, managing director, Ace Creative Learning Pvt Ltd, a coaching institute, said that there were two questions in biology and one in chemistry that may have “seemed ambiguous” and led to confusion. <br /><br />“The reason for this confusion is because of the manner in which the question has been phrased and not really an error per se. Any student who has had a conceptual understanding would have handled it with ease and I don't really see it as an error,” opined Dr Sridhar. <br /></p>
