Calcutta High Court Admits NEET Score Discrepancy Plea
A student named Sreja Mahanti took the NEET exam, which is a big test for getting into medical college.
She thinks she got 659 marks, but the people who run the exam, called the NTA, gave her only 289 marks.
That's a big difference of 370 marks!
She asked them to check it, but they didn't do anything.
So, she went to the court and asked them to make the NTA check her exam paper again.
The court said okay and asked the NTA to explain by July 28.
Lots of other students are also upset about the exam and are planning to protest.
